Book categorisation can be key to the marketing success of a title or content. When potential readers are searching for a book if it is not categorised or is incorrectly categorised then they have very little chance of finding it.
We have recently been looking at classification systems. There exists a wide range of classification systems. Some of these focus on very specific topics others try to provide a top-level set of categories that cover all content.
At present book publishers generally require that the content is classified within two of these systems BISAC and Editeur Thema. In this post, we will introduce both formats and let you know how they can be used.
