Coates, a founder member of the Classification Research Group (UK) and a close associate of Late Prof. S. R. Ranganathan. Mr. Coates passed away on 5th December at the ripe age of 101. His book, Subject Catalogues: Headings and Structure, first published in 1960 by the Library Association, is a classic and probably carries the most detailed exposition of Dr. Ranganathan’s chain procedure and other subject heading practices and procedures. The book is still widely used as a textbook in LIS schools around the world. Mr. Coates along with a few other members of CRG participated in the International Conference on Ranganathan’s Philosophy and the FID / CR regional conference held in Delhi in 1985. K. S. Raghavan . _______________________________________________ LIS-Forum mailing list LIS-Forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
