Choose the DDC that's right for you



Most librarians who start to do cataloguing using DDC, may find the advice from OCLC useful.

Go to this page, and select "Take the animated tour"
http://www.oclc.org/dewey/resources/tour/default.htm

When you have the animated tour, choose the fourth "Green" Tag on the left "Where does the DDC come from?", and page through the introductory slide, you will find it on the second slide.

With the help of this slide and the subsequent links it offered, you will be able to explore and visit web sites that give you full details of:

*Dewey for windows

*13th Abridged Edition in 1 volume

*21st Edition in 4 volumes

*WebDewey

Selecting the right DDC to start with is not difficult, if you are attentive enough.

If you like to have some one guiding your school librarians, just email
