  • As we evolved, we gained a vast amount of information about our planet, among many others. As we began writing this knowledge down as forms of literature, we needed a place to store it. The idea of organized knowledge was the motivation behind libraries and their organizing systems.
  • Humans value knowledge highly, having knowledge is power, this incentivized humans to protect and organize gained knowledge thus libraries and catalogues were formed
  • Things like catalogues and classification improved the availability of knowledge and shows that we are constantly after ways to better our organization of knowledge
