Abstract

Discussions of the origins of the DDC are ultimately not very satisfying because they do not answer the mor trechant question of why Dewey developed this form of access tool in the first place. That question is especially important because now at more than a century's remove from the beginnings of the system many have concluded that the DDC is essentially outmoded, and that little more than this need be said of it. Yet, this conclusion is far too simplistic an answer to a serious question about the nature of the system and its origins. The intent here is to begin a more comprehensive answer to the question of the DDC's origins, first, by summarising developments in the long history of the DDC; second, by addressing the relationship of the DDC to the 19th century classification of knowledge and the sciences movement which formed a significant broader context in which it was created; third, by addressing its relationship to the rise of library classification theory in the present century; and last, by commenting on the position of the DDC in relationship to the new post-modern library which has begun to appear
