Extractions: Having its origins in the slave narratives and the folktales transmitted orally during that period, the literature of the African American has been rich and varied. Beginning with the first published work of fiction ( Clotel; Or, the President's Daug hter ) in 1853, continuing under the influence of W.E.B. Du Bois during the first part of this century, and reaching a flowering during the Harlem Renaissance, major contributions have been made to American literature. Today African American writers , such as Toni Morrison, Alex Haley, and Maya Angelou are recognized as among the most significant and popular authors in this country. The following topics are the major divisions in this section dealing with African American literature in general. If you are more interested in a specific genre, go to the bottom of this page.

http://www.unf.edu/~alderman/BLISS2/librariesoverview.html

Extractions: Libraries have always used some sort of classification system, whether it be by key word or concept, by size, or by subject. Even ancient libraries classified their scrolls and tablets. The underlying principle behind classification was to make materials easily accessible to library users. One of the earliest systems of classification used in the United States was Thomas Jefferson's adaptation of Sir Francis Bacon's system, which organized knowledge into three large divisions: history, poetry, and philosophy. Jefferson sold his library to the United States to replace the Library of Congress's collection which was destroyed by fire during the War of 1812. The Library of Congress continued using Jefferson's system, with modifications, until 1897, when the Library of Congress developed its own system to classify its collection of 1.5 million items. Since libraries have traditionally served as repositories of knowledge, a means of accessing this knowledge has always been a necessity. Today, computers make access relatively easy and a bit less reliant on classification, but subject cataloging still plays an important role in how we arrange and locate materials in a library. Even if all knowledge could be captured in machine-readable form, some means of classification would still be necessary. Today's computerized periodical databases still rely on subject classification as a means of organizing a search for materials. If a searcher relied solely on key words, narrowing a topic would become very time-consuming.
