    Abstract
    The Library of Congress Classification (LCC), originally designed for classifying the Library's own collection, is now used in a wide range of libraries, both in the United States and abroad. This entry recounts its history and development from its genesis to the present time, leading up to an explanation of LCC structure, tables, and notation. It then considers the system's potential for wider application in the online age, through speculation on using LCC as a tool for (a) partitioning large files; (b) generating domain-specific taxonomies; and (c) integrating classification and controlled subject terms for improved retrieval in the online public access catalog (OPAC) and the Internet. Finally, analyzing both its strong and relatively weak features, it addresses the question of whether in its current state LCC is in all respects ready for playing such roles

    Abstract
    I am pleased to be included as part of this workshop. My contribution comes from my research and working with national bibliographies around the world, not from my expertise with the Dewey Decimal Classification system. With that disclaimer, I am ready to share my observations and experience in how national bibliographies and national bibliographic services use the DDC in national bibliographies, including a case study of the making of the Namibia National Bibliography

    Abstract
    In 2003, OCLC published Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index, Edition 22 (DDC 22), in print and Web versions. The changes and updates in the new edition reflect a modern view of knowledge structures and address the general needs of Dewey users. The content of DDC 22 has been shaped by a number of social, geopolitical, and technical trends. The World Wide Web has provided a vehicle for more frequent distribution of updates to the DDC, and a medium for direct communication with Dewey users around the world. In addition to updating the system itself, other strategies are needed to accommodate the needs of the global Dewey user community. Translation of the system is one approach; another is mapping. Mapping terminology to the DDC is a strategy for supporting effective local implementation of the system while maintaining the internal cohesiveness of the DDC. This paper explores the usefulness of mapping terminology from English-language general subject headings lists produced outside the U.S.

    Abstract
    Es werden die Überlegungen im Zusammenhang mit der Einführung der Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation im deutschen Sprachraum dargestellt, wobei die künftige deutsche DDC-Ausgabe auf der Basis der 22. Auflage der Original-DDC im Mittelpunkt steht. Dringlich für eine deutsche Ausgabe sind neben Korrekturen und Expansionen für deutsche Sachverhalte, etwa im Bereich der geografischen Hilfstafel, die Schaffung eines deutschen Begriffsinventars für das Instrumentarium der DDC selbst und eine Integration der Terminologie der Schlagwortnormdatei, soweit das mit der Struktur einer Klassifikation vereinbar ist. Daneben kommt der über eine reine Übersetzung hinausgehenden Anpassung der Beispiele und Registereinträge der DDC an die Suchgewohnheiten deutschsprachiger Benutzer eine erhebliche Bedeutung zu.

    Abstract
    In respect to the nature and quantity of available information, 1876 was a very different world from the one we know in the 1990s. Yet in spite of over a century of changes, the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), the system that helped organize a small college library, has grown to one that is helping the whole world organize its vast store of information resources. In this closing session, I would like to summarize some of the major factors that have contributed so far to the Dewey system's success as an information organization tool. I will also discuss ongoing efforts to ensure its viability in the future

    Abstract
    This article pertains to two further general classifications, which, in contrast to the reigning classifications just mentioned, incorporate in a thoroughgoing manner a modem view of the world. One of these was announced in 1910, to a chorus of disapproval, saw the light of day as a completed scheme in 1935, fell into suspended animation after the death of its author in the 1950s, and was revived, drastically revised and expanded in England by Jack Mills in 1967. A large part of the expanded scheme has appeared in the form of separately published fascicles; the remainder mostly in the areas of science and technology are in an advanced state of preparation. I refer of course to the Bliss Bibliographic Classification. I use the expression "of course" with some slight hesitation having once met a North American library school academic who thought that Henry Evelyn Bliss was an Englishman who lived in the London inner suburb of Islington. This was an unconscious tribute to Jack Mills, though perhaps unfair to Bliss himself, not to mention America, whose son he was.

    Abstract
    The paper will give a short outline of the project DDC German. The project is not limited to a mere translation of DDC 22, but aims at the implementation of Dewey in the library networks of the German-language countries. Use of DDC mainly for retrieval purposes, not for shelving, leads to certain new aspects in classifying with Dewey which are described in detail and presented together with the German web service Melvil. Based an the German experience of cooperation and data exchange in the field of verbal indexing the paper develops some ideas an future Dewey cooperation between European and American libraries.
