Conclusion
This paper provided an overview of the issues in book
arrangement and book labelling. Good practice examples, tools and
knowledge have been exchanged across international boundaries
throughout the history of libraries. This was especially the case in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when many library traditions
converged, especially across the regions that once formed part of
larger empires or that shared the same language. English language
was the factor that has united library practice in many countries;
hence we often speak of Anglo-American library practice. Because
of language barriers and a larger number of countries in Europe,
one does not normally speak about a single European library
tradition. In spite of this, a similarity in library practice can be
found in some areas of collection management in many European
countries and call numbering is one of these areas
