Abridged decimal classification and relativ index for libraries, clippings, notes, etc

by Melvil Dewey

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

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...
