Well, I read this, so that happened I guess.

An abridged version of the full Dewey classification volumes, the Dewey abridged 14 aids the cataloger in assigning Dewey classification numbers to materials. It includes an introduction that is actually quite helpful; tables; the schedules themselves; and the ever-glorious and useful (no sarcasm!) relative index. A must-have for any librarian in any setting.

I'm crazy, but I just LOVE reading the DDC! I believe I became more responsive to my students' needs by becoming more aware of Dewey classification. My favorite "meme", if you will, is "works that are used together to be found together."

Charts and tables are the epitome of organization. However, this will always get one less star because it is not free/open since it is owned by OCLC and because it is still (and always will be) a Eurocentric system.

Dewey Decimal Classification merupakan Sistem Klasifikasi yang paling banyak dipakai.....DDC it's very simple with decimal...ditambah lagi Desimal memungkinkan untuk melakukan sistem hierarki...
