Scott, the former head of cataloging with the U.S. Census Bureau, has devised truly useful, straightforward tables translating Library of Congress call numbers into Dewey Decimal class numbers and Dewey into LC. Aimed at both converting entire collections and the search for call numbers for individual records, this will prove to be an effective aid for catalogers. Starting with LC numbers in strict order, the Dewey equivalent is listed immediately to the right, followed by a brief, precise descriptor. This process is duplicated for the Dewey numbers. While not as inclusive or descriptive as the actual schedules, the coverage is comprehensive. If more precision is required, the citations will direct catalogers to appropriate areas of the actual schedules. Geographic and other standard extensions are included. This work should also be considered by reference departments for work with patrons familiar with one scheme but not the other.

This book simply aims to introduce the students to the process of assigning and especially synthesising the class numbers by the 19th edition of the DDC. The book is student-oriented and only aims at them. The chapters and the examples have been graded and no background, whatsoever, has been assumed on the part of the users. Though aimed at the beginner, yet it provides a complete course to train the students in the techniques of subject analysis and number building involving the use of seven auxiliary tables and multiple synthesis. The graded process of number building may mirror before the students the increasing edition by edition faceted nature of the system. To avoid verbosity the number building has been depicted through equations and facet formulae. Another aim is to be simple and clear. Many examples have been taken from 21st century literature; its theory and bibliography have been updated to the latest 23rd edition (2011) with an appendix on abridged edition (2012). It charts the course of the DDC from the 19th to 23rd editions

2021 version of the Dewey Decimal Classification. DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION, 2021 (200-599) (Volume 2 of 4) Classification: What It Is and What It Does Classification provides a system for organizing knowledge. Classification may be used to organize knowledge represented in any form, e.g., books, documents, electronic resources. Notation is the system of symbols used to represent the classes in a classification system. In the Dewey Decimal Classification, the notation is expressed in Arabic numerals. The notation gives both the unique meaning of the class and its relation to other classes. The notation provides a universal language to identify the class and related classes, regardless of the fact that different words or languages may be used to describe the class. History, Current Use, and Development of the Dewey Decimal Classification The Dewey Decimal Classification-conceived by Melvil Dewey in 1873 and first published in 1876-is a general knowledge organization tool that is continuously revised to keep pace with knowledge. The system is further extended through number building, interoperable translations, association with categorized content, and mappings to other subject schemes. The DDC is published by OCLC, Inc. The DDC is accessed through WebDewey, a frequently updated subscription service maintained by OCLC. OCLC owns all copyright rights in the Dewey Decimal Classification and licenses the system for a variety of uses. The DDC is the most widely used classification system in the world. Libraries in more than 138 countries use the DDC to organize and provide access to their collections, and DDC numbers are featured in the national bibliographies of more than sixty countries. Libraries of every type apply Dewey numbers on a daily basis and share these numbers through a variety of means (including WorldCat). Dewey is also used in a variety of applications on the web in support of categorization, browsing, and retrieval. The DDC has been translated into over thirty languages. Since 1988, authorized translations of the full and abridged editions of the DDC have been published or are under way in Arabic, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese. The DDC Summaries, the top three levels of the Dewey Decimal Classification system, have been translated into Afrikaans, Arabic, Chinese, Czech, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Vietnamese. One of Dewey's great strengths is that the system is developed and maintained in a national bibliographic agency, the Library of Congress. The Dewey editorial office is located in the Dewey Section of the Library of Congress, where classification specialists annually assign over 60,000 DDC numbers to records for works cataloged by the Library. Having the editorial office within the Dewey Section enables the editors to detect trends in the literature that must be incorporated into the Classification. The editors prepare proposed schedule revisions and expansions and forward the proposals to the Decimal Classification 3 Editorial Policy Committee (EPC) for review and recommended action. EPC is a ten-member international board whose main function is to advise the editors and OCLC on matters relating to changes, innovations, and the general development of the Classification. EPC represents the interests of DDC users; its members come from national, public, special, and academic libraries, and from library schools.
