Resumen:

It is taken for granted that the Dewey Decimal Classification and Library of Congress Classification are the most used classification systems worldwide. However, LIS literature does not include studies or research reports about classification systems currently used in Latin American libraries, and the reasons behind their adoption. This paper shows the results of an e-mail survey carried out among Latin American libraries to learn what were the classifications systems used in them, as well as some of the reasons that motivated them to select those classification system. © 2000 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
