James Duff Brown
James Duff Brown (1862–1914) was a British librarian, information theorist, music biographer and educationalist. Most of his life was spent in London.
==Biography==
He was born in Edinburgh, but after beginning his library career in Glasgow, he subsequently moved to London, and worked in Clerkenwell for the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury. He devised three classification systems: Quinn/Brown (1898), Adjustable classification (1898) and Subject Classification (1906). The latter system was for municipal libraries and was informed by his advocacy of open shelf access of books in the UK. Indeed he was ''()he pioneer of this new system (he was librarian ) of Clerkenwell, where the first experiment in open access was launched in May, 1893''. This was referred to as "safe guarded open access". Alongside his classification work, he produced a standard textbook on librarianship (the ''Manual of Library Economy''). In 1898 he was threatened with a libel action by Charles Goss, over a polemic defending open access, and he was forced to apologise.〔
〕 He further contributed to theoretical journals and also produced correspondence courses in librarianship "upon which most British librarians depended for their professional studies until the 1930s". As Librarian in the Metropolitan Borough of Islington he largely built up their collection and service.
