    Abstract
    In this paper, I will present a general introduction to Edition 21, the new edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification. I will also briefly describe the underlying database and some new uses of Dewey in the electronic information environment. The twenty-first edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification has just been published in print and electronic versions. Edition 21 contains changes in the organization of several disciplines. It also provides expansions for new areas of knowledge, accommodates many political and social changes, and includes updated terminology. Edition 21 also features several structural changes that make the Classification easier to apply, reflect modern classification design principles, and support electronic distribution.

    Abstract
    The 21st edition of the DDC will be published in summer 1996, 120 years after the publication of the first ed. This paper describes the major changes in ed. 21 and explores some of the social, cultural, political, disciplinay, and knowledge organization forces behind the changes. The print version of ed. 21 is one manifestation of a larger underlying database that has also responded to several forces to meet present and future needs. Developments in the database and future directions to meet new uses of the DDC are addressed

    Abstract
    Argues that classification systems have an important role to play in knowledge organization in the new world electronic order. The natural language approach is not incompatible with the use of a classification system and classification has untapped potential as a multilingual switching language. Librarians must learn to present classification systems in a language understood by a general audience and promote them as general knowledge organization tools

    Abstract
    The 4 volume set of the 21st edition of the DDC was published in Jul 1996, and its electronic version, Dewey for Windows (on CD-ROM) was introduced the following month. Presents some highlights from both, and gives an update on research that is aimed at helping the DDC continue to be the knowledge organization tool for the next century. Ed. 21 includes 3 major revisions: 350-354 Public adminsitration; 370 Education; and 560-590 Life sciences. Changes have been made in other disciplines to address cultural, social and political issues, including an attempt to reduce the Christian bias in 200 (Religion). Further expansions to computer science have been required. Several structural changes should make DDC21 easier to apply and exploit the new possibilities of electronic distribution.

    Abstract
    Describes what needs to be done to prepare knowledge organization tools for the future in the context of 7 challenges facing classification systems. Discusses work underway in the DDC to address each of these challenges focusing on: Updating efforts; features of Dewey for Windows; the OCLC projects; multilingual use of Dewey; and the development of a new database system with an authority control file for entries in the Relative Index and for linked entries from other theisauri

    Abstract
    Options currently provided in the Dewey Decimal Classification system are reviewed. Options are an appropriate mechanism in a general purpose classification used by different kinds and sizes of libraries around the world. Dewey provides the universal option of close versus broad classification. Options also are provided to give emphasis to jurisdiction; racial, ethnic, or national group; language; topic; or other specific characteristics. Various devices are detailed or suggested to introduce options. Options may be an impediment to retrieval of information across systems. Options should not be introduced as a substitute for the appropriate placement of a topic in the Classification. Options help accommodate cultural differences in the Classification, and provide a mechanism for emphasizing topics of local importance.
