    There are four types of mnemonics: alphabetical, scheduled, seminal, and systematic. Alphabetical mnemonics use initial letters to represent entities, like using "B" to represent "Basmati Rice". Scheduled mnemonics assign recurring concepts the same digit, like languages always being denoted by their last digit in the Dewey Decimal Classification. Seminal mnemonics assign numerical meanings, like Ranganathan using "1" to represent unity or God. Systematic mnemonics help construct classification schemes by providing independence and ensuring a helpful sequence of classes.

    MNEMONICS

    Dr.M.Prasantha Kumari
    There are four types of mnemonics:
     Alphabetical Mnemonics
     Scheduled Mnemonics
     Seminal Mnemonics
    Systematic Mnemonics
    Alphabetical Mnemonics
    In alphabetical mnemonics an entity is denoted by its
    name using its initial alphabet,
    e.g., J381B
     B means Basmati Rice
    while D5125H
    H means Hero Bicycle,
     D5133M
    M means Maruti motorcar.
    Library of Congress, (LCC) and UDC use alphabetical
    mnemonics to a large extent. In the LCC we have:
    A General works
    AC General Collections
    AE General Encyclopedias
    AS General Societies
     In the LCC we have literal mnemonics which are
    secondary
     G-Geography, M-Music, and T-Technology
    Scheduled Mnemonics.

    The schedule denotes recurring concepts and terms by the


    same digit. Here are self-evident examples from the DDC
    and the CC
    Language Literature Linguistics History English 820 420
    942
     German 830 430 943
    French 840 440 944
     Hindi 891.43 491.43 -
    English language, Literature and History are always
    denoted by “2” and German by “3”, so on.

    Similarly, take the case of CC:
    Main class Anatomy Physiology Diseases
     G Biology G :2 G :3 G : 4
     I Botany I : 2 I : 3 I : 4
     K Zoology K : 2 K : 3 K : 4
    L Medicine L : 2 L : 3 L : 4
    Seminal Mnemonics
    Ranganthan made a deep study of mnemonics and
    makes use of them in his CC:
    The digit 1 is used as mnemonic for unity, God, world,
    the first in evolution or time, one dimension or line,
    solid state,
    The digit 2 is used as mnemonic for two dimensions,
    plane, form, structure, anatomy, morphology, sources
    of knowledge, physiography, constitution, physical
    anthropology
    Contd…
    The digit 3 is used for mnemonic for three dimensions,
    space, cubic, analysis, function, physiology, syntax,
    method, social anthropology,.
    The digit 4 is used as mnemonic for heat pathology,
    disease, transport, interlinking, synthesis, and hybrid,
    salt
    The digit 5 is used as mnemonic for energy, light,
    radiation, organic, , liquid, water, ocean, foreign land,
    alien, external, environment, ecology, public controlled
    plan, emotion, foliage, aesthetic, woman, crime
    The digit 6 is used as mnemonic dimensions,
    mysticism, money, finance, abnormal.
    The digit 7 is used as mnemonic for personality,
    ontology, integrated, holism, value, public finance,
    The digit 8 is used as mnemonic for travel,
    organisation, and fitness.
    Systematic Mnemonics
    Systematic mnemonics ensure helpful sequence of
    classes in an array by aiding the classificationist while
    constructing the schedules of a classification scheme,
    by providing independence to the classifier.
    While coining class numbers for some of the isolates
    which are not enumerated in the scheme but can be
    assigned numbers on the basis of systematic
    mnemonics.
    In other words on the basis of principles of helpful
    sequence, and finally they aid the memory of the users
    at the time of document retrieval.

    Anatomy wherever it occurs has been denoted by “2”


    and disease by “4”.
