Read for school.
Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), or the "Deweys desimalklassifikasjon" as it is called in Norway, but stopped at it's 5th edition which is based upon the DDC21 edition and adapted to Norwegian conditions; now being replaced by WebDewey in Norway, which is again based upon on the complete edition of DDC23.
This book is a great book for beginners to DDC; although I thought it was a bit boring to read, when I had lectures about it where the content of this book was compressed into the lectures.
