A Practical Guide to Dewey Decimal Classification is a comprehensive and hands-on introduction to the world's most widely used classification system. The book provides a brief history of the scheme and delves into the theory behind the organization and construction of Dewey class numbers. It also offers a practical guide to finding DDC numbers and building them using WebDewey, the online resource for accessing DDC. Since DDC is no longer published in print, it is essential for readers to understand the basics of using WebDewey. The book covers all the essential topics, including searching and browsing in WebDewey, using notes and the manual, number building in DDC, using tables within the schedules, and advanced class number building using tables 1-6. Each chapter includes end-of-chapter exercises to help readers assess their learning. The book also includes an appendix with answers to all the chapter exercises.
