Synopsis

This book details the Decimal Classification system, a hierarchical system for organizing knowledge into ten main classes, and then further into divisions and sections. First developed in the mid-1800s, the system is a valuable tool used in libraries to organize books, journals, and other materials. The Decimal Classification system uses Arabic numerals and has a mnemonic structure to aid in memorization, making it both practical and easy to use. This meticulously organized book provides detailed instructions on how to use the system, including guidance on assigning class numbers and making subject references. It also includes a comprehensive index to aid in finding specific topics within the classification system. The author's insights into the system's development, application, and benefits make this book an invaluable resource for librarians, catalogers, and anyone seeking to organize and manage information effectively.
