Coverage includes:· a brief history of the system, its editors, and its development· specialized examinations of specific parts of the classification· extensive guidance on number building, with many examples· a WebDewey-specific chapter, covering the system’s benefits and features· concise summaries of primary takeaways, a glossary, and extensive bibliography.This book will be an indispensable guide to 21st-century DDC, an essential companion for DDC classifiers, and accessible for students and continuing learners as well.
