Classification scheme for informative books: Siso

We classify informative books according to the so-called Siso scheme, which is also used in the Netherlands.

Here you can find the main categories of the Siso with their codes. This will help you find what you are looking for in our library. The great advantage is that you can search by category, when you ignore the title or the author of a book.
