The Dewey Decimal Classification System
What Is It?• 1) A system that classifies or categorizes nonfiction
books into ten main divisions.• 2) A book is assigned a Dewey number based on its
subject matter. • 3) The Dewey number and the first three letters of
the author's last name become the book's call number.
• 4) Nonfiction books are arranged numerically on the shelves according to DDC, ranging from 001 to 999.
Who was Melville Dewey?
1) The American librarian and reformer (1851-1931) established the Dewey Decimal System of classifying books.
2) Dewey changed librarianship from a vocation to a modern profession.
3) Melville Louis Kossuth Dewey, the youngest of five children, was born on December 10, 1851 in a small town in Northern New York State.
4) He attended Amherst College, where he worked in the library to help pay for his education. Dismayed at the way books were arranged. Melvil worked towards improving library classification systems. Combining his talent for math and his orderliness, he invented the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) System when he was twenty-one.
The Dewey Decimal System is divided into 10 main classes:
– And each of those classes is also divided into 10 divisions (for a total of 100 divisions)
– And each division is divided into 10 sections (for a total of 1000 sections).
– Flaws: bias towards Protestant/American aspects prevalent in both the history and religion disciplines.
• constantly undergoing revisions. • some classes like �Technology,� in the 600s
which the call numbers are very crowded, and others that are very sparse.
• not easily expandable .
