Synopsis
Excerpt from Decimal Classification and Relative Index<br/><br/>The books on the shelves and the cards ln the subject catalog are arranged in simple numerical order, all class numbers being decimals. Since each subject has a definite number, it follows that all books on any subject must stand together. These tables show the order in which subjects follow one another. Thus 512 Algebra precedes 513 Geometry and follows 511 Arithmetic. Summaries. The first summary shows the ten Classes into which all topics are divided. The second summary shows the nine Divisions of each of the ten classes, and is useful as a bird's-eye view of the whole scheme on a single page. Then follow ten pages, one for each class, showing the nine Sections into which each of the nine divisions of each class are divided. These pages are to be used for a synoptic view on a single page of the scope of each class.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the Dewey Decimal Classification System, a system invented in the 1870s, and employed by libraries to organize and arrange their collections. The system sought to impose order and structure on knowledge and information by employing a series of numbers to present a "map" of human knowledge, from the most general categories down to the most specific. The DDC's far-reaching influence speaks to its effectiveness in creating a shared language within which libraries can organize their books according to the same schema. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780366449514_0
