This standard is intended to aid in the selection and application of a filing system that will enable users to retrieve information when needed. It describes three principal systems: alphabetic filing, subject filing, and numeric filing. In addition, it contains standard rules for indexing alphabetic data. This standard will establish a uniform files classification system that makes sense to the users while identifying and preserving a set order of records. Three informative appendices include instructions for indexing, factors to consider when using automated indexing systems, and exceptions for alphabetic indexing. Note: This consolidated standard replaces the Alphabetic Filing Rules standard and three filing guidelines, Filing Procedures, Numeric Filing, and Subject Filing, all of which are now out of print and no longer available.
