About this Item

Print on Demand. This book presents an innovative and comprehensive system for organizing bibliographic information and library collections. Developed by Melvil Dewey in the 19th century, the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) divides all knowledge into ten main classes, further subdivided into divisions, sections, and subsections. Each topic is assigned a unique number, allowing for systematic arrangement of books, periodicals, and other library materials. The DDC's simplicity and flexibility have made it the most widely used library classification system worldwide. This book provides an in-depth explanation of the DDC, including its history, structure, and application. It also offers guidance on how to use the DDC to effectively organize and access library resources. 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. Seller Inventory # 9781390310825_0
