Purpose: In this article, considering the presence of internet and virtual space networks, the function of science classification and the place and application of flexonomy and taxonomy in contemporary libraries (digital library) have been investigated. In this abstract, the importance of science classification function in contemporary libraries is mentioned first. Science classification helps users find the information they need easily and efficiently by providing a logical and coherent structure for organizing information.Methodology: The research of this article shows that although the needs of libraries in the contemporary era have exceeded the past, the role of science classification is still important and necessary. Science classification helps users find the information they need easily and efficiently by providing a logical and coherent structure for organizing information. Next, the role of flexonomy and taxonomy in contemporary libraries has been discussed. Flexonomy, using user-centered tags, allows users to organize information according to their needs and perspectives. Taxonomy also helps users understand information more deeply and accurately by providing a hierarchical structure for organizing information.Findings: At the same time, flexonomy and taxonomy also play an important role in contemporary libraries as new methods of organizing knowledge. Flexonomy, using user-centered tags, allows users to organize information according to their needs and views. Taxonomy also helps users to understand information more deeply and accurately by providing a hierarchical structure for organizing information.Originality/Value: The results of this article show that science classification, flexonomy and taxonomy are complementary to each other and they can be used simultaneously to help users find and share information suitable for their needs in contemporary libraries and it is better. In order to be more practical and to be able to easily use controlled vocabulary in natural language, ontology is also used, which makes the circle of coherence and classification of sciences more complete in this way.
