Abstract

Although scholars have examined Māori subject headings, research on local shelf classifications in New Zealand have not been objects of study in the context of global and local knowledge organization. This chapter brings an important classification to light.

Keywords

  • Anticolonialism
  • Universal knowledge organization systems
  • Local classification
  • Māori
  • Indigenous knowledge
  • New Zealand

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgments

I owe many thanks to Jenny Hooker and the staff and the University of Waikato Library for supplying me with the classification and very helpful information about its origins.
