The scheme called Dewey Decimal Classification was devised in 1876 by Melvil Dewey. Now it has an incredible history of 136 years of boundless success. This scheme is widely used in majority of libraries in about 150 countries. This is the result of continuous revision that the 23rd edition of DDC has been published in July 2011. No other classification scheme has published so many editions. Some welcome changes have been made in DDC 23. The present book is an attempt to explain with suitable examples, the salient provisions of DDC 23. The book is written in a simple and lucid language so that even the students do not face any difficulty. The examples in the book are explained in a step-by-step procedure. It is hoped that this book would be of great help and would be very useful to the library professionals at large, library classifiers, in general and library and information science students, in particular.

A Practical Guide to Dewey Decimal Classification is a hands-on introduction to the world’s most frequently used classification system. The book gives a brief history of the scheme and discusses the theory behind the organization and construction of Dewey class numbers. However, I would like to go further and walk through the process of finding DDC numbers and how to build them using WebDewey, the online resource for accessing DDC. Since DDC is no longer published in print (as of June 2018), it is important that readers understand the basics of using WebDewey. End-of-chapter exercises let readers assess their learning. Chapter coverage is complete: 1. Introduction 2. Dewey Decimal Classification in a Nutshell 3. Basic Principles of Classification (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 4. Searching and Browsing in WebDewey (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 5. Using Notes and the Manual (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 6. Number Building in DDC (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 7. Using Tables within the Schedules (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 8. Advanced Class Number Building Using Table 1 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 9. Advanced Class Number Building Using Table 2 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 10. Advanced Class Number Building Using Tables 3-6 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 11. Conclusion; DDC Resources Appendix: Answers to chapter exercises
