Library material arrangement:

Irrespective of the category to which a library belongs, collection of a library is first broken into  sequences. Depending upon the size of a library  collection may be arranged only under two sequences-  books and periodicals- or  more than two sequences.  Once the  material has been grouped by sequence the question of arrangement on shelf comes up. The arrangement of library material will include: 

1) Sequence Arrangement  

2) Shelf Arrangement 

1) Sequence Arrangement: Based on any one or more of the following features:

• Access: Open, Closed
• Size of books 
• Purpose: Reference, Text books, lending books 
• Category of user: Children, Adult

2) Shelf Arrangement: Based on any one of the following features:

• Alphabetical by author/title 
• Classified or by subject
