Abstract
For classification to advance to the point where optimal systems may b e developed for manual or automated use, it will be necessary for a sc ience of document or library classification to be developed. Seven que stions are posed which the author feels must be answered before such o ptimal systems can be developed. Suggestions are made as to the forms that answers to these questions might take.
