Title

¬The international use of the Dewey Decimal Classification

Source

International cataloguing and bibliographic control. 24(1995) no.4, S.61-64

Year

1995

Abstract

Describes the use of the DDC throughout the world, covering the translations available; the responses of those responsible for the maintenance of the classification and the need to internationalize the English-language editions; the activities of the profession in many countries in providing a focus for discussion an input into the editorial process; and the different ways the classification is used. Recommends a comprehensive international survey of use in order to provide evidence which would support its development as a more truly international scheme and the provision of variant publications to satisfy a wider international community
