David Judson Haykin is an expert in subject cataloging and classification in the United States,the Margaret Mann Citation winner in 1957.He has made outstanding contributions to the development of the classification system,and has established the principles for the development of the Library of Congress Subject Headings,which are embodied in many of his works.The paper introduces Haykin’s ideas of classification system and subject cataloging,and analyzes profoundly the influence of his ideas on contemporary cataloging practical activities:DDC is widely used;the principles and practices of subject cataloging form the basis of modern LCSH;they are consistent with the principles of the construction and application of subject cataloging’language advocated by IFLA,and lay a foundation for the formation of subject authority data.
