Findings: Classification and epistemology are intertwined. We cannot go through conception unless we classify; or we classify to concept. Dewey, in his viewpoint toward the librarianship stated some traditions that we encounter with them up to now. These are, according to Tredinnick, librarians are as knowledge keepers, they were forbidden or advised not to penetrate into humanism and the noble state of knowledge in that time, and their profession is mainly allocated to women. Now a day, in the era of post modernism, which the librarianship is mainly user-oriented, those ideas are not applicable, anymore.
