Just thought some of you may find this of interest regarding library 
classification systems.
http://www.slais.ubc.ca/courses/libr517/winter2000/Group7/index.htm

In India the classification system used is the 'Colon system' thought 
up by Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan.
It's a rather complex (at least to the Western mindset) but very 
interesting.

For example it has a category for 'An Occult study of metals' which is 
∆(E191) and Occult metabolism which is ∆(G:3)

The ∆ being the symbol used for 'Spiritual experience and mysticism'
