Abstract

I am pleased to be included as part of this workshop. My contribution comes from my research and working with national bibliographies around the world, not from my expertise with the Dewey Decimal Classification system. With that disclaimer, I am ready to share my observations and experience in how national bibliographies and national bibliographic services use the DDC in national bibliographies, including a case study of the making of the Namibia National Bibliography
