Knowledge organisation systems in libraries exist not as mere shelf-arrangement tools. They are frameworks for organising the universe of knowledge. Thus, librarians’ roles as cataloguers, classifiers and classificationists are not limited to the library; they play a critical role in ensuring that the global views and perceptions of ideas and concepts are as universally acceptable as possible. This is essential in an exponentially expanding world of several complexities. Relying on existing literature and the authors’ experiences, this presentation provides strategic approaches to enhancing result-oriented faculty-library collaboration in re-designing knowledge organisation systems for the organisation of religion literature in libraries and information centres. This will help to address the existing biases associated with popular classification schemes whose Euro-Western-Anglo- and Christian-centric views have limited the capacities of libraries to properly organise religious literature for easy accessibility and inclusivity. Areas treated in this paper include the current trends in knowledge organisation for religion literature, rationale for faculty-library collaboration in re-designing knowledge organisation systems for religion literature, challenges, issues and recommendations for addressing the challenges identified
