It is my pleasure to announce a full and diverse program for this year’s workshop.  As part of the 75th anniversary of ASIS&T, this full day workshop will examine the past and future prospects of SIG/CR, one of seven original Special Interest Groups established at the American Documentation Institute on March 3, 1966.  This workshop has assembled scholars from the major schools in information organization as well as practitioners to comment on their current work, past work done in classification research, and the major advances in the field.
