Library classification in the Croatian library school at the Department of Information Sciences,
University of Zagreb has an important place in the department's curriculum. This is due to the fact that
classification is the most important indexing language in Croatian libraries, documentation centres and
services and its role has not been undermined by library automation is the case elsewhere. The course
Classification and Classification Systems has undergone many changes since the school was established
in 1976. One of the most important objectives of the course, besides introducing classification as a tool,
is to teach about content analysis and classification as a process. Another important goal of the course
is to teach students how to adapt and use classification for different purposes and in different
environments. The current syllabus embraces the use of classification in information organisation and
presentation in different kinds of collection from book and non-book materials to information resources
on the Internet and even more importantly, the course covers the application of classification in
information retrieval and discovery. It is the intention of the course to contribute to the education of
librarians and will enable their skills to be applied in the wider area of the information profession.
