Abstract
We developed and tested a training method for the book classification using a personal computer for students. Now We report the obtained results.
One of Japan-MARC's date is displayed on the screen as a problem. Questions were extracted from the date in “J-BISC”. A question was selected randomly from 1135 data by the computer program.
Referring to the title, subtitle, author and notes of the book on the display, a student decides a classification number, and inputs it to the computer. The classification number was compared with NDC number in its Japan-MARC's data. The number of answers was 4793 in total.
Analyzing the answers, it was found that the correct answer was 42%. When 3 digits (NDC 1000 division) were compared the percentage was improved to be 61%. The results were obtained by a personal computer.
