Abstract

Dewey for Windows (DFW) provides a Windows interface for the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The DFW interface is different from the DOS version of Electronic Dewey, but the search engine (database access program) is similar . This paper does not attempt to survey all the features of DFW; it focuses on those features that seem most important to the working classifier. It describes the hierarchies and the extra terminology for searching added to the DDC 21 database, search strategies, the limited number of built numbers in the database, and the need for number building. This paper also includes detailed descriptions of sample searches that illustrate how the system works.
