Explains how the Dewey decimal system of classification for libraries was invented and how it works
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Allan Fowler is the author of several nonfiction books for children.
Grade 3-6. The history, use, and benefits of the widely used classification system are explained in this easy-to-read text printed in large, bold black type against a white background. Fowler provides an excellent explanation of Dewey's categories and subdivisions without overwhelming youngsters with too much detail. The layout is attractive with full-color photos throughout. Unfortunately, despite several references to computer databases and other types of electronic technology, only outdated card catalog drawers and cards are shown. Most libraries will want to wait for a revised edition of this title that visually displays the use of computers as catalogs.?Sabrina L. Fraunfelter, Kings Glen Elementary School, Springfield, VA
