  Landry, P.: Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) at the Swiss National Library.
  In: Cataloging and classification quarterly. 42(2006) nos.3/4, S.135-145.
  
  Abstract: The Swiss National Library adopted the DDC as its classification scheme for its open access stacks collections and the structure of its national bibliography, Das Schweizer Buch, in 1999. The paper explains why the library decided to adopt the DDC and how the decision was made. The factors leading to the decision are explained, namely the use of the DDC in Europe and the decision taken by libraries in Germany to translate and adapt DDC22 in German. The article also describes the implementation process of the DDC and the results so far attained at the Swiss National Library.

  Sandner, M.: Neues aus der Kommission für Sacherschließung.
  In: Mitteilungen der Vereinigung Österreichischer Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare. 58(2005) H.1, S.56-58.
  
  Abstract: Die vielfältigen Programmteile unserer Kommission trafen am Linzer Bibliothekartag im September 2004 auf viel Interesse: Am Dienstag Vormittag fand sich schon zu früher Stunde eine kleine Gruppe interessierter Lernwilliger zum heurigen DDC-Workshop "Hauptklasse 800 - Literatur" ein. Mag. Michael PREUSS führte uns kompetent, schwungvoll und dennoch behutsam, sehr anschaulich und mit viel didaktischem Geschick durch dieses nicht gerade einfache Kapitel der Klassifikation. Nach zwei Stunden waren wirschon selbst in der Lage, einige literaturwissenschaftliche Dewey-Notationen zu komponieren! Am Dienstag Nachmittag hielten wir mit zahlreichen Gästen unsere öffentliche Kommissionssitzung ab. Der obligate Tätigkeitsbericht über die vergangenen beiden jahre und einige kommissionsinterne, organisatorische Weichenstellungen machten den Anfang. Dann berieten wir übereventuell nötige Expansionswünsche einzelner Bundesländer für österreichische Landesgeschichte für die deutsche Fassung der DDC-22. Unser im Herbst 1997 (Heft 3/4) publizierter Beitrag über Benutzererwartungen in die Sacherschließung wurde im Zuge der in den letzten Jahren aufblühenden Benutzerforschung kürzlich mehrfach zitiert, zuletzt von Holger Flachmann in seinem Aufsatz zur verbalen Inhaltserschließung mit RSWK und SWD im "Bibliotheksdienst" 2004, 6, 745-791. Daher haben wir die Verlinkung der Online-Fassung unserer damaligen Ergebnisse auf der VÖB-Homepage diesen Sommer datentechnisch aktualisiert. Wir hoffen, die begonnene Umgestaltung unserer Website insgesamt bald fertig stellen zu können. ; Es folgten zwei Gastvorträge: Frau Christel HENGEL-DITfRICH aus Frankfurt (DDB) gab uns Einblick in ein aktuelles IFLA-Projekt, das auch für die von uns verwendeten Normdateien von großer Bedeutung sein wird. "Functional Requirements and Numbering for Authority Records", das FRAN.AR-Modell, basiert auf den internationalen Katalogisierungsprinzipien der FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) 2003 in der Entwurf-Fassung als "Frankfurt Principles" verabschiedet. Das Zauberwort sind die Entitäten verschiedener Qualitäten und Gruppen, die eine Relationierung und gemeinsame Nutzung unterschiedlicher Normdatensätze ermöglichen und zu Suchergebnissen in Titelmengen großer Datennetze führen. Mag. Michael PREUSS aus Köln (Übersetzerteam im Projekt DDC Deutsch) berichtete über den Fortschritt der ersten Übertragung der Dewey-Klassifikation ins Deutsche und erläuterte auch ein wenig das im Rahmen des Projekts entwickelte Editionssystem, mit dem sehr effizient gearbeitet werden konnte. Es setzt neue Maßstäbe und findet sowohl bei OCLC als auch für bevorstehende Übersetzungsprojekte anderer Länder Interesse und Nachahmung. Am Dienstag Spätnachmittag luden wir noch zu einem Runden Tisch mit der Koordinatorin der Fachexperten für das Übersetzungsprojekt, Frau Dr. Heidrun ALEX, ein. Der Österreichische Bibliothekenverbund unter stützt als Konsortialpartner im Projekt DDC Deutsch das Übersetzerteam in den Fächern Religion, Pädagogik, Wirtschaft, Naturwissenschaften (Botanik, Zoologie, Landwirtschaft und Veterinärmedizin), Musik sowie Architektur und Bautechnik. Viele dieser Fachgebiete sind trotz der teilweise sehr mühsamen fachterminologischen Kleinarbeit bereits erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Es waren zwar nicht alle österreichischen ExpertenpoolMitglieder in Linz, aber die meisten haben einen Kurzbericht bereit gestellt oder standen telefonisch für spontane Rückfragen während des Roundtable-Gesprächs zur Verfügung. Die klärenden Beratungen mit den anwesenden Fachreferenten/-innen waren sehr konstruktiv und wurden sogar eine Stunde länger als geplant- bis knapp vor der Eröffnungsveranstaltung des Bibliothekartags - in kleinerem Kreis fortgeführt, weil nicht alle bis zu nächsten Tag bleiben konnten. Am Mittwoch Vormittag fand eine gemeinsame Veranstaltung mit der KofFE statt. Die "Arbeitsgruppe Normdateien" konnte eine Zwischenbilanz ziehen und stellte die bisherigen Ergebnisse vor: seit drei Jahren arbei tet die erste österreichischen PND-Redaktion (im Rahmen des Aleph-Verbundes OBV) und seit dem heurigen Sommer gibt es zwei zusätzliche Eingabeberechtigungen (NÖLE; Wr. Stadt- und Landesbibliothek), um auch Angehörigen anderer Bibliotheken einen aktiven Zugang zur Normdatei zu ermöglichen. In Hinkunft soll sich die Arbeitsgruppe wieder vermehrt der SWD zuwenden sowie eine Einbindung der GKD anstreben. ; Die erste Sitzung im Jahr 2005 fand, wie angekündigt, am 3. Februar in Wien statt, aber anstelle des plötzlich erkrankten Gastvortragenden - wir hoffen, dass Herr Dr. Lars Svensson aus Frankfurt bei anderer Gelegenheit bald nach Österreich kommt - ist dankenswerter Weise Herr Mag. Michael PREUSS aus Köln eingesprungen (oder besser "eingeflogen" - dieser Dank gilt daher auch für die spontane Zustimmung des Präsidenten und des Kassiers zur kurzfristigen Flugbuchung). Wir haben in seinem Vortrag am Vormittag nicht nur die beiden künftigen Recherchetools für die Online-Fassung der ersten deutschen DDC-Ausgabe "MELVILClass" und "MELVILSearch" sondern auch das erfolgreiche Editionssystem, mit dem die Übersetzung der DDC durchgeführt wird, kennen gelernt. Auch ein Blick in das im Entstehen befindliche "Viewey", eine bildliche Aufbereitung der 1000 DDC-Klassen der drei obersten Ebenen mit echten Treffern in DDC-klassifizierten Titeldaten war uns vergönnt! Im Workshop am Nachmittag konnten wir mit allen Instrumenten Recherche-Übungen durchführen und vergleichsweise in WebDewey und sogar im "WorldCat" Suchen absetzen. Dabei kam es dank des lebhaften Interesses aller Teil nehmer/-innen, welches auf die vielschichtige Sachkompetenz des Gastvortragenden traf, zu einem intensiven fachlichen Gedankenaustausch. Während der Mittagspause stand zwischen den beiden Veranstaltungsteilen ein Besuch der am Abend zuvor eröffneten DDC-Ausstellung in der FachbereichsbibIiothek Translationswissenschaft am Programm (vgl. den Bericht über die Ausstellungseröffnung in diesem Heft). Die beiden jeweils halbstündigen Führungen hat Frau Dr. Petra TURNOVSKY übernommen. Sie fanden bei den Besucher/-innen großen Anklang. Die Kommission für Sacherschließung plant, sich in Zukunft wieder vermehrt der verbalen Sacherschließung zu widmen. Unsere nächste Veranstaltung wird Mitte September im Rahmen der ODOK 2005 in Bozen stattfinden.
  
  Inhalt: Da in der vorigen Druckausgabe der VÖB-Mitteilungen aus Versehen nur der letzte Absatz des vorbereiteten Beitrags erschienen ist, folgt er hier nun der fehlende Text nochmals zur Gänze; erweitert um die bereits im heurigen Jahr hinter uns liegende Veranstaltung.

  Bowman, J.H.: Essential Dewey.
  London : Facet Publishing, 2005. VII, 150 S.
  ISBN 1-85604-519-6
  
  Abstract: In this book, John Bowman provides an introduction to the Dewey Decimal Classification suitable either for beginners or for librarians who are out of practice using Dewey. He outlines the content and structure of the scheme and then, through worked examples using real titles, Shows readers how to use it. Most chapters include practice exercises, to which answers are given at the end of the book. A particular feature of the book is the chapter dealing with problems of specific parts of the scheme. Later chapters offer advice and how to cope with compound subjects, and a brief introduction to the Web version of Dewey.
  
  Inhalt: "The contents of the book cover: This book is intended as an introduction to the Dewey Decimal Classification, edition 22. It is not a substitute for it, and I assume that you have it, all four volumes of it, by you while reading the book. I have deliberately included only a short section an WebDewey. This is partly because WebDewey is likely to change more frequently than the printed version, but also because this book is intended to help you use the scheme regardless of the manifestation in which it appears. If you have a subscription to WebDewey and not the printed volumes you may be able to manage with that, but you may then find my references to volumes and page numbers baffling. All the examples and exercises are real; what is not real is the idea that you can classify something without seeing more than the title. However, there is nothing that I can do about this, and I have therefore tried to choose examples whose titles adequately express their subject-matter. Sometimes when you look at the 'answers' you may feel that you have been cheated, but I hope that this will be seldom. Two people deserve special thanks. My colleague Vanda Broughton has read drafts of the book and made many suggestions. Ross Trotter, chair of the CILIP Dewey Decimal Classification Committee, who knows more about Dewey than anyone in Britain today, has commented extensively an it and as far as possible has saved me from error, as well as suggesting many improvements. What errors remain are due to me alone. Thanks are also owed to OCLC Online Computer Library Center, for permission to reproduce some specimen pages of DDC 22. Excerpts from the Dewey Decimal Classification are taken from the Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index, Edition 22 which is Copyright 2003 OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc.

  Anmerkung: Rez. in: KO 31(2005) no.4, S.259-260 (J.E. Leide): ; "The title says it all. The book contains the essentials for a fundamental understanding of the complex world of the Dewey Decimal Classification. It is clearly written and captures the essence in a concise and readable style. Is it a coincidence that the mysteries of the Dewey Decimal System are revealed in ten easy chapters? The typography and layout are clear and easy to read and the perfect binding withstood heavy use. The exercises and answers are invaluable in illustrating the points of the several chapters. The book is well structured. Chapter 1 provides an "Introduction and background" to classification in general and Dewey in particular. Chapter 2 describes the "Outline of the scheme" and the conventions in the schedules and tables. Chapter 3 covers "Simple subjects" and introduces the first of the exercises. Chapters 4 and 5 describe "Number-building" with "standard subdivisions" in the former and "other methods" in the latter. Chapter 6 provides an excellent description of "Preference order" and Chapter 7 deals with "Exceptions and options." Chapter 8 "Special subjects," while no means exhaustive, gives a thorough analysis of problems with particular parts of the schedules from "100 Philosophy" to "910 Geography" with a particular discussion of "'Persons treatment"' and "Optional treatment of biography." Chapter 9 treats "Compound subjects." Chapter 10 briefly introduces WebDewey and provides the URL for the Web Dewey User Guide http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/dewey/ webdewey_userguide/; the section for exercises says: "You are welcome to try using WebDewey an the exercises in any of the preceding chapters." Chapters 6 and 7 are invaluable at clarifying the options and bases for choice when a work is multifaceted or is susceptible of classification under different Dewey Codes. The recommendation "... not to adopt options, but use the scheme as instructed" (p. 71) is clearly sound. As is, "What is vital, of course, is that you keep a record of the decisions you make and to stick to them. Any option Chosen must be used consistently, and not the whim of the individual classifier" (p. 71). The book was first published in the UK and the British overtones, which may seem quite charming to a Canadian, may be more difficult for readers from the United States. The correction of Dewey's spelling of Labor to Labo [u] r (p. 54) elicited a smile for the championing of lost causes and some relief that we do not have to cope with 'simplified speling.' The down-to-earth opinions of the author, which usually agree with those of the reviewer, add savour to the text and enliven what might otherwise have been a tedious text indeed. However, in the case of (p. 82): ; Dewey requires that you classify bilingual dictionaries that go only one way with the language in which the entries are written, which means that an English-French dictionary has to go with English, not French. This is very unhelpful and probably not widely observed in English-speaking libraries ... one may wonder (the Norman conquest not withstanding) why Bowman feels that it is more useful to class the book in the language of the definition rather than that of the entry words - Dewey's requirement to class a dictionary of French words with English definitions with French language dictionaries seems quite reasonable. In the example of Anglo-French relations before the second World War (p. 42) the principle of adding two notations from Table 2 is succinctly illustrated but there is no discussion of why the notation is -41044 rather than -44041. Is it because the title is 'Anglo'-'French', or because -41 precedes -44, or because it is assumed that the book is being catalogued for an English library that wished to keep all Anglo relations together? The bibliography lists five classic works and the School Library Association (UK) website. The index provides additional assistance in locating topics; however it is not clear whether it is intended to be a relative index with terms in direct order or nouns with subdivisions. There are a few Cross-references and some double posting. The instruction ") ( means 'compared with"' (p. 147) seems particularly twee since the three occasions in the index could easily have included the text "compared with;" the saving of space is not worth the potential confusion. There is no entry for "displaced standard subdivisions" one must look under "standard subdivisions" with the subdivision "displaced." There is no entry for "approximating the whole," although "standing room," "class here notes" and "including notes" are listed. Both "rule of zero" and "zero" with the subdivision "rule of" are included. The "rule of zero" is really all you need to know about Dewey (p. 122): Something which can be useful if you are really stuck is to consider the possibilities one digit at a time, and never put 0 if you can put something more specific. Be as specific as possible, but if you can't say something good, say nothing. This slim volume clearly follows this advice." ; Weitere Rez. in: Mitt. VÖB 59(2006) H.1, S.70-72 (M. Sandner): "All das wäre in Summe also nachahmenswert? Ja! Ein ähnliches Lehrbuch in deutscher Sprache vorzulegen und mit Beispielen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum auszustatten wäre ein lohnendes Ziel."

  Mitchell, J.S.: DDC 22: Dewey in the world, the world in Dewey.
  In: Knowledge organization and the global information society: Proceedings of the 8th International ISKO Conference 13-16 July 2004, London, UK. Ed.: I.C. McIlwaine. Würzburg : Ergon Verlag, 2004. S.139-145.

  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: This paper presents the results of an exploratory study to determine literary warrant for topics in electronic resources. The classification numbers in Abridged Edition 14 were used as a starting point. Using the principles of abridgment and expansion in Dewey, a version of the DDC is defined that accommodates the topics found an three diverse Web sites that use Dewey: BUBL, Canadian Information By Subject, and KidsClick! The resulting classes are used to create a database for automated classification of Web resources.

  Kaushik, S.K.: DDC 22 : a practical approach.
  New Delhi : Ess Ess Publications, 2004. 228 S.
  ISBN 81-7000-414-4
  
  Abstract: A system of library classification that flashed across the inquiring mind of young Melvil Louis Kossuth Dewey (known as Melvil Dewey) in 1873 is still the most popular classification scheme.. The modern library classification begins with Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). Melvil Dewey devised DDC in 1876. DDC has is credit of 128 years of boudless success. The DDC is being taught as a practical subject throughout the world and it is being used in majority of libraries in about 150 countries. This is the result of continuous revision that 22nd Edition of DDC has been published in July 2003. No other classification scheme has published so many editions. Some welcome changes have been made in DDC 22. To reduce the Christian bias in 200 religion, the numbers 201 to 209 have been devoted to specific aspects of religion. In the previous editions these numbers were devoted to Christianity. to enhance the classifier's efficiency, Table 7 has been removed from DDC 22 and the provision of adding group of persons is made by direct use of notation already available in schedules and in notation -08 from Table 1 Standard Subdivision. The present book is an attempt to explain, with suitable examples, the salient provisions of DDC 22. The book is written in simple language so that the students may not face any difficulty in understanding what is being explained. The examples in the book are explained in a step-by-step procedure. It is hoped that this book will prove of great help and use to the library professionals in general and library and information science students in particular.

  Beall, J.: Approaches to expansions : case studies from the German and Vietnamese translations.
  In: http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla69/papers/123e-Beall.pdf.
  
  Abstract: Die deutsche und die vietnamesische Übersetzung der DDC entstehen in einer Umgebung, die für den grenzüberschreitenden Umgang mit der DDC günstig ist. Es gibt internationale Gesamtkataloge wie OCLC WorldCat, die die Recherche und das Kopieren von Katalogdaten über Sprachgrenzen hinaus ermöglichen. Bibliothekskataloge sind im Internet verfügbar und werden weltweit benutzt. Viele Nationalbibliotheken nutzen die DDC für Nationalbibliografien, darunter auch solche wie die Nationalbibliotheken von Kanada und der Schweiz, die die DDC in mehr als einer Sprache verwenden.. In internationalen Projekten wie Renardus wird die DDC verwendet. Wenn die DDC über Sprachgrenzen hinaus brauchbar sein soll, dann muss die selbe DDC-Notation in unterschiedlichen Anwendungsbereichen und Sprachen auch dasselbe meinen. Wenn die DDC-Notation 324 in der englischen Standard Edition "The political process" heißt, dann muss damit in den arabischen, französischen, deutschen, griechischen, isländischen, italienischen, norwegischen, russischen, spanischen und vietnamesischen Ausgaben Identisches gemeint sein. Dies bedeutet nicht, dass eine wörtliche Übersetzung erforderlich ist; kulturelle Unterschiede können berücksichtigt werden. So heißt die englische Version von 959.7043 Vietnamese War, 1961-1975 und die vietnamesische Version von 959.7043 Amerikanischer Krieg, 1961-1975; die Notation 959.7043 bezieht sich dennoch auf den selben Krieg. So ist der DDC-basierte Informationsaustausch über die Sprachgrenzen über die Notation 959.7043 weiter möglich.

  Abstract: Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index, Edition 22 (DDC 22) will be issued simultaneously in print and web versions in July 2003. The new edition is the first full print update to the Dewey Decimal Classification system in seven years-it includes several significant updates and many new numbers and topics. DDC 22 also features some fundamental structural changes that have been introduced with the goals of promoting classifier efficiency and improving the DDC for use in a variety of applications in the web environment. Most importantly, the content of the new edition has been shaped by the needs and recommendations of Dewey users around the world. The worldwide user community has an important role in shaping the future of the DDC.

  In: http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla69/papers/122-Knutsen.pdf.
  
  Abstract: Die Einführung der Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation (DDC) in Norwegen ist das Verdienst eines Mannes und Ergebnis seiner Suche nach beruflichem Erfolg. In den späten achtziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts kaufte der Student und Bohemien Haakon Nyhuus eine einfache Fahrkarte in die USA. Zufällig bot man ihm eine Arbeit in der Newberry Library in Chicago an, wo er William F. Poole kennen lernte, der von dem jungen Mann beeindruckt war und ihn als Leiter der Katalogabteilung der Chicago Public Library empfahl. Seine bibliothekarische Karriere dort war so kurz wie sein Aufenthalt in den USA. 1897 kehrte er nach Norwegen zurück und übernahm die Leitung der Stadtbibliothek von Oslo. Nyhuus wurde bald der bedeutendste Bibliotheksreformer, den es in Norwegen je gab. 1898 führte er die DDC in der Bibliothek ein. Nyhuus schätzte die DDC nicht besonders und bezeichnete sie als "alte Kutsche mit zehn Rädern, von denen einige ein wenig aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten und durch Kummer und Tränen abgenützt sind". Trotzdem ist es ihm zuzuschreiben, dass die DDC heute in allen öffentlichen Bibliotheken und einer großen Anzahl wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken in Norwegen verwendet wird. Norwegen ist ein dünn bevölkertes Land mit etwa 4,5 Millionen Einwohnern. Die Bibliotheken sind meist klein und ihre Bestände eher begrenzt. Selbst wenn die großen Universitätsbibliotheken und Bibliotheken mit Spezialsammlungen dazu tendieren, die internationale Ausgabe in vier Bänden zu benutzen, betrachten die meisten Bibliotheken die Hilfstafeln als zu detailliert für ihre Zwecke. Es gibt einen großen Bedarf an Terminologie auf Norwegisch. Einige Subject Gateways und Nachweise sind entsprechend der DDC organisiert und die norwegische Ausgabe bildet eine wichtige Grundlage für die Bildung von Schlagwörtern. Deshalb ist es in Norwegen Tradition, jede zweite vollständige Ausgabe der DDC ins Norwegische zu übersetzen, zu kürzen und entsprechend dem nationalen Literaturaufkommen leicht anzupassen.

  Abstract: Zu einigen Änderungen im Vergleich zur 21. Aufl. vgl. nachstehende Rezension.
  
  Anmerkung: Rez. in: Knowledge organization 31(2004) no.2, S.112-114 (M.P. Satija) : "With nearly 130 years of eventful and checkered history, the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) is the oldest living yet thriving modern library classification. Having undergone 21 revisions, it is the most applied library classification structure all over the world. Apart from its use in libraries in more than 135 countries across six continents, many national and trade bibliographies use it for content organization. Furthermore, it is now making successful forays into the world of electronic documents and networked information. The print version of the 22nd edition was released in September 2003, two months later than the scheduled time of July 2003, and two months after the release of the electronic version, WebDewey. The period between print editions now seems settled to seven years as a matter of policy. As WebDewey, an the other hand, is updated an a quarterly basis, what really constitutes a new edition is problematic; edition is rolling, always in a flux without much fixity. The last half century, and more specifically the tenure of Benjamin A. Custer as editor (1956-1980; Editions 16-19), has been an era of structural changes in the DDC, backed by professional management and organizational planning. Custer was instrumental in not only resuscitating the system, but also in putting DDC back an the path of progress. His able successor, Dr. John P. Comaromi, edited the 20`h edition (1989) and ushered in a period of simplification and consolidation. Following the acquisition of Forest Press by OCLC in 1988, much more research has gone into making new editions of the DDC. The OCLC Office of Research has involved itself in classification research, especially in the harmonization of various knowledge classification systems and mapping of DDC numbers to subject headings, above all to make DDC capable of organizing electronic information of every sort. The acquisition of DDC by OCLC has also inaugurated an era of new products and services, along with organized marketing. DDC21 (1996) was a product of high IT, and the 22nd edition can safely be termed a child of network technology. It is indeed the first edition produced in the web environment. To stay abreast of current developments an knowledge practices, the editors relied an the Internet and electronic databases for new topics and terms. Editors and policy makes got constant feedback and suggestions via the Internet to add new features and to achieve accuracy and efficiency. In addition to the feedback and expert advice, this edition, as usual, is based an actual classification of three quarters of a million current books in the Decimal Classification Division of the Library of Congress since 1996. ; WebDewey (2003) and Abridged WebDewey (2004) are now only available an the Internet to licensed users. WebDewey is an enhanced version of the Dewey database of terms and numbers available in the print edition. Updated quarterly, it is only accessible via the Internet an an annual subscription basis. It provides much more facilities including key words navigation. Annotation feature allows cIassifiers to add and share notes about local classification changes. WebDewey is available within the full OCLC cataloguing services environment. It provides many access points with many search and browse Indexes. It makes the location of Dewey numbers an "easy" game. The annually updated Dewey for Windows an CD ceased publication in 2001; this decision may hurt the libraries in developing countries where the Internet, due to poor telecommunication infrastructure and unreliable services, is not easily accessible. ; Changes DDC22 is the second edition prepared by Joan S. Mitchell who took over as editor in 1993. It carries forward the policies and improvements started in DDC21, especially the onslaught an the Christian and western cultural blas in the schedules and tables. The plan for reducing Christian blas in 200 Religion, initiated in DDC21, has now been completed, with some additional provisions in 296 and 297. An outstanding change has been the abrogation of Table 7 Persons. The functions of Table 7 are now filled by using T1-08 and whatever notation is appropriate from 011-999. There are at least six places in the tables and 12 places in the schedules where the use of T7 was prescribed; what good the abolition of T7 has produced is not clear. In fact, it does make number building in some cases a bit circuitous, especially while using Table 3C. It has also resulted in the reuse of many DDC 21 numbers with new meanings. However, some numbers remain the same e.g., Social customs of artists 390.47 (both in DDC21 and DDC22). A few numbers have also become shorter in length. In compliance with the recommendations of D'Elia's survey, all works relating to directories of travel facilities such as hotels, lodges, Motels, inns, have been shifted to 910.46 and to 913/919 whereas 647.94 continues to be in place for general information about hotels. A common practice in previous editions, that is full class or extensive revisions (phoenix schedules), appear to have been discontinued in the preparation of DDC22. But minor changes are numerous. There are more than one thousand relocations and discontiuations of class numbers. Some 40 numbers have been reused. ... However, all these changes are not those projected as slated changes for DDC22 in the DDC21 (1996), namely in 520 Astronomy, 355-359 Military science, 636-639 Animal husbandry and 690 Buildings. Obviously the switch over to the DDC 22 will put less strain an libraries. There has been considerable improvement in the manual, now shifted to volume 1 of the print edition (pp. 1-182). Notes in the manual have been shortened by removing redundant information and by dividing them into smaller sections. Some information from the manual has been transferred to the schedules and tables, in the form of notes. The manual is now clearer and easier to read. Flow Charts, built-in numbers, and see also references should help classifiers achieve greater consistency. The relative index has been beefed up. With its 928 pages, it is 333 pages longer than the previous one, including new built-in numbers and many additional terms. The entry vocabulary is wide-based and current. DDC 22, the first edition of this millennium, has kept pace with the fast changing information environment to map and organize it squarely. To quote our friends at OCLC: knowledge is a big world, and they have organized it."
