Decimal Classification and Relative Index: For Libraries, Clippings, Notes, Etc (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
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.
