Having studied the theoretical background presented in the previous Blocks, you are now required to be familiar with three schemes of library classification one of which is DDC. Dewey Decimal Classification is the most popular of schemes, at least in the English-speaking world. This Unit traces the origin, evolution and, growth of DDC over the past 120 years. It specifically presents its outline in respect of subject classification, notation, other devices and the mechanism of revision. The Unit also discusses its most lasting contribution to library classification, viz., and the relative index. The Unit particularly provides a detailed description of the 19th edition of DDC, which is envisaged to serve as a study guide in practical work. Lastly, the Unit evaluates DDC and points out both its strength and weaknesses.http://landingoa.com/propertiespulse/fckeditorimages/boss-tuner-manual.xml In order to get the best out of this Unit, it is very necessary for you to- have access to a set of DDC, 19th edition, for constant reference. 10.2 GENESIS OF DDC Melvil Dewey was born in Adams Center, New York, on December 10th, 1851. He was the son of a small storekeeper and, at the age of five, it is said that he rearranged his mother's larder - which is the place where.provisions are stored - in a more systematic manner. He came to librarianship through a process of self education, a few years of teaching followed by higher studies at Oneida Seminary, Alfred University, and finally at Amherst College. He obtained a post as student library assistant in 1872 at the same college. In the following year, he put forward a plan for rearranging the library in a more systematic way. He was promoted in 1874 to the post of Assistant College Librarian. In 1876, he anonymously published his classification scheme, which had far reaching effects. Apart from the classification scheme, which bears his name, he also had many other contributions to his credit. He also founded the first librarianship school in the United States (Columbia University) in 1887, promoted the standard catalogue card (12.5 x 7.5 cm) and took an active interest in all aspects of librarianship. 102.1 First Edition 6 The publication of a 42-piige pamphlet entitled A classification and subject index for cataloguing and arranging the books and pamphlets of a library in 1876, heralded the beginning of both DDC and library classification. This was the first edition, which consisted of 12 pages of preparatory matter, 12 pages of tables and 18'pages of index, a total of 42 pages. One thousand copies of this first edition were printed. It contained nearly 1000 classes. It was, however, criticised as being too minute in its subdivisions for a majority of libraries. Within a very short time it, nevertheless, became extremely popular and was soon adopted by many libraries in the United States and other countries.https://labroclub.ru/blog/3g3mv-manual-espa-ol The original 42-page anonymous pamphlet culminated, in the course of time, in a monumental work of over 3,000 pages. According to a recent survey, over 85 per cent of all types of libraries in the USA and Canada use DDC. It has been adopted in all five continents of the world. 10.2.2 Salient Features Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) Dewey was not the first to introduce subject arrangement of books in libraries. He was, however, the first to introduce the following innovative features in subject arrangement: 1) 2) 3) 4) The concept of relative location Decimal notation Detailed specification Relative index Relative location: It is difficult to think of relative location as an, innovation today, as the principle is taken for granted now. Dewey introduced it when fixed location was the practice. In those days, books were identified by their-location on the shelves. A certain number of shelves and a block of accession numbers were allocated to each subject in a library. Each book bearing only the accession number would be placed on a particular shelf earmarked for it according to its subject. The books were, thus, identified by their exact position, room, bay, tier, shelf and place on the shelf. These shelf marks were given to books. Once allocated, the shelf mark denoted the permanent home of a book in that library. This arrangement was not satisfactory. With new acquisitions, it necessitated changes in the shelves and their marking. This constant shifting and marking set Dewey in search of a better alternative. Finally, Dewey found the answer to this problem in his principle of relative location. Dewey ordered subjects in a sequence, assigned a notation to them and marked books, and not shelves, with this notation. It was now possible to interfile new accessions without disturbing the existing sequence. Each book in a library secured a position in relation to other books in the same subject.http://dkc1burgas.com/images/boss-ps-5-owners-manual.pdf This relative location could be easily achieved because of another innovation introduced by Dewey, viz., decimal notation. Decimal notation: The decimal notation used in DDC refers to the principle of dividing each class into ten sub-divisions and each of these sub-divisions into another ten sub-divisions and so on. This feature in DDC equipped it with a tremendous capacity for expansion to accommodate minute sub-divisions without the necessity of relocation. The first edition of DDC stopped with the division at the third place, though it continued, as suggested by Dewey, to a fourth or fifth place, if necessary, in the catalogue. The pure simplicity (f notation soon won popularity for the scheme. Detailed specification: The relative location, combined with decimal notation, made it easier to specify more detailed sub-divisions. Before Dewey introduced the idea of relative location, the number of subject groups into which the books in a library could be arranged was severely limited. Once the idea of moving books at any point to accommodate additions was accepted, it became possible to specify more detailed sub-divisions. Dewey listed nearly one thousand subjects in his first edition. The DDC 19th edition, lists 21,504 classes (other than auxiliary tables) with provisions for greater synthesis and is still considered not minute enough. By and large, the development of DDC has been one of steady expansion with provision for increasing the amount of detail. Relative index: One of the objections to classified catalogue and systematic arrangement had been the problem of knowing just where to look for a book. Dewey provided the solution to this problem 'in the shape of the relative index. His relative index showed exactly where to find a given topic. Another advantage of the relative index was that it showed those aspects of a subject, 'Which the systematic order scattered throughout the scheme.https://www.adler-leitishofen.de/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16273588743d78---bright-starts-around-we-go-activity-station-manual.pdf Yet another advantage of Dewey's relative index was that it also listed the synonyms in many cases. These innovations are now taken for granted in library classification. Dewey's scheme was truby modern in many respects. He anticipated many of today's developments including the principle of synthesis and facet structure, even though he did not recognise them explicitly. 7 Study of Selected Schemes of Classification Self Check Exercise 1) Having understood the genesis of the scheme, name the four innovative feature of DDC. The second edition was much larger in size and more detailed than the first. Twelve more editions appeared during the next 57 years at different intervals. The intervals between editions ranged from two to 12 years. Development of DDC up to the 14th edition was a progressive record of a clear policy pursued successfully by Dewey throughout his life. These ' editions, the third through fourteenth, closely followed the pattern set by the second edition. Progress was mainly in the direction of ever increasing detail without much change in the basic structure of the scheme. The later editions dutifully kept up the promise given that the numbers were settled. 10.3.1 Fifteenth Standard Edition Special mention must be made of the fifteenth edition as it departed from the hitherto followed policy of integrity of numbers. In 1951, the fifteenth edition appeared under the editorship of Milton Ferguson, This was the first edition to be designated, on its title page, as Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index. This edition halted the process of extensive expansion without any true revision. It was not always based on literary warrant, After publication of this edition it soon became clear that the changes, particularly the relocations, proved too much for the practising librarians. Most of them did not accept the new -15ditionand continued with the fourteenth.applestudenttours.com/ckfinder/userfiles/files/canon-fs2710-manual.pdf Criticism of the fifteenth edition was fierce and vehement- Many critics even pronounced the scheme dead. 10.3.2 Sixteenth and Later Editions The sixteenth edition appeared in 1958 edited by Benjamin Custer. This set, the pattern of the seven-year revision cycle. This edition went back to the detailed enumeration of the fourteenth edition and relocated some topics back to their original places. But the better relocations of the fifteenth edition were retained. It continued some of the innovative features of the fifteenth edition such as standard spelling, current terminology and a pleasing typographical presentation The index was published as a separate volume and was relatively more detailed than that of the fourteenth edition. The sixteenth edition also contained the first of the Phoenix schedules. The seventeenth through nineteenth editions, also under the editorship of Custer, were developed' along similar Tines. Each edition, while observing the policy of integrity of numbers, shov,,3 concern to keep pace with knowledge within reasonable bounds. 10.3.3 8 Twentieth Edition The twentieth edition of DDC was published in 1989 and edited by J. P. Comaromi. It is in four volumes: V-1 Introduction and Tables, V-2 Schedules (000-500), V-3 Schedules (600-90) and V-4 Relative Index and Manual. Each volume is separately paginated. The four volumes together consist of 3a08 pages and as composed of the following major parts. Volume-1: This volume consists of the following three parts: A. Introduction: Introduces the user to DDC and provides instructions on how to use it. B. Tables; The seven auxiliary tables with notation that can be added to the class,number in the schedules. C. Lists which compare Editions 19 and 20. Relocations, reductions, etc. Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) Volumes 2 and 3: These two volumes are the main body of the scheme. V-2 (000-500), V-3 (600-900) D. Schedules - Knowledge organised from 001-999.http://www.festivalmarrakech.info/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16273589823597---bright-starts-activity-station-manual.pdf Volume 4: This volume consists of the following two parts: E. Relative Index: An alphabetical list of subjects found in the schedules and tables. F. Manual: It assists the classifier for classifying difficult areas. In the development of DDC-20, the year 1988 witnessed two important events, which had profound effect on the future of DDC. On July 29, 1988 a computer tape containing substantially all the text of DDC-20 was delivered to a firm in Massachusetts to begin production of this edition. The Forest Press and DDC became part of Online Computer Library Centre (OCLC), the Ohio-based non-profit organisation. The twenty-first edition of DDC was published in 1996. The format is the same as that of the 20th edition. 10.3.4 Abridged DDC In order to meet the needs of small and slowly growing libraries, an abridged edition of the scheme was issued in 1894. The abridgement was about two-fifths the size of the fu edition. At present, the abridged version is in its eleventh edition. This eleventh edition was published shortly after the nineteenth full edition. This parallel series of abridged editions, intended for small libraries not requiring a high degree of specificity, contains' notations rarely exceeding five digits. The abridged edition is used by most of the school libraries and many small public libraries in the United States of America. It is also widely used in other countries. Self Check Exercise 2) In which years were the 15th, 16th and 20th editions of DDC published. This is true of DDC also. 9 Study of Selected Schemes of Classification The division of the main classes was based on an earlier classification, developed by Harris in 1870. This in turn is said to have been based on an inverted order of Francis Bacon's chart of learning. 10.4.2 Classification by Discipline It is commonly said that library classification groups together materials on the same subject. It is an over simplification.www.orarestauratorisaf.it/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1627358a6b05e3---bright-5040-microtome-manual.pdf Barring a few, most classification schemes are based on the principle of classification by discipline. The distinctive feature of DDC, from the beginning has been that the division of main classes and subclasses is based on academic.As a result, the same subject may be classed in more than one place in the scheme. For example, the subject copper may be classed in chemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy, chemical technology and so on depending on the author's approach. This approach is known as classification by discipline, which is different from one-place classifications. Dewey Decimal Classification is an aspect classification, which distributes the subject according to the context. For example, the chemical aspect of copper would be in chemistry, the metallurgical aspect in metallurgy and so on. This approach of DDC was probably correct, as subjects are approached from the discipline point of view by most users in the majority of cases. This is -in contrast with the approach of Brown to the problem of collocation in his Subject Classification. In DDC, the Universe of Knowledge was divided into nine basic classes, viz., Philosophy, Religion, Sociology, Philology, Natural Science, Useful Arts, Fine Arts, Literature and History. These classes were academic disciplines in Dewey's time. Today, many of these main classes like Natural Science, Useful Arts, Sociology, etc., include several academic 'disciplines. 10.4.3 Hierarchical Structure Dewey Decimal Classification is basically a hierarchical scheme, based on she general principles of division. It begins with the Universe of Knowledge as a whole and divides it into classes and subclasses at successive stages of division with a certain characteristic as the basis at each stage. On the whole, the progression is from the general to the specific, forming a hierarchical structure. Due to the notation adopted, at each stage of division, only ten sub-divisions are possible.aothuatdanang.com/upload/files/canon-fs22-manual.pdf Thus, DDC has the heritage of pragmatism and commitment to usefulness. Dewey and later the editors of DDC have been committed to meeting and solving the problems of use. It is this quality which has contributed to the durability of DDC. Self Check Exercise 3) What forms the basis of the outline of the main classes in DDC? 4) Name the main principles adopted by DDC. This is a reasonable approach as most new subjects emerge as an outgrowth of an existing field of knowledge. With increasing specialisation, library materials also tend to be more specific and, thus, require more minute sub-divisions of the existing subjects. Reduction consists discontinuing very rarely used existing sub-divisions. Such topics are, then, classed with the more general topic. Relocation of a number of existing subjects takes place in every new edition. 10.5.1 Phoenix Schedules This is a piecemeal approach to bring DDC up-to-date. Certain schedules, which are out of date and require drastic changes, are replaced with entirely new classifications. The earlier schedules of some one or two major disciplines are destroyed and new schedules are completely recast and their arrangement is remoulded in each of the recent editions of DDC since the sixteenth edition. These new schedules rising out of the ashes of the destroyed old schedules are called Phoenix schedules. The policy of integrity of numbers is dispensed with and the entire schedule for a certain discipline or topic is reconstituted without regard to the previous divisions. In recent editions, the following schedules have been given the Phoenix treatment. 546 Inorganic chemistry and 547 Organic chemistry in the 16th edition. 130 Pseudapsychology, Parapsychology (occultism) and 150 Psychology in the 17th edition. 340 Law and 510 Mathematics in the 18th edition. 301-307 Sociology, 324 Political process and -41 and -42 Area notations for Great Britain. 10.5.2 Organisational Set-up The responsibility for the maintenance of DDC rests with Forest Press, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lake Placid Education Foundation which Melvil Dewey set up to carry on his work. Editorial work is carried out under contract at the Library of Congress, though the Forest Press continues to market and publish DDC. In between these two organisations is a group called DDC Editorial Policy Committee composed of practising librarians and library educators who advise the Forest Press and the editor on matters relating to revision. 10.5.3 Procedure of Revision Each new edition is based on the previous edition. Taking into consideration the response of the users to the immediately preceding as well as earlier editions, the editors, in consultation with the DDC Editorial Policy Committee, determine which schedules require what degree of revision and review. Major revisions are prepared with the advice of subject experts. The main principle has been to, satisfy the needs of diverse users who include practitioners in small and large public and research libraries as well as teachers and students. To keep users of DDC informed of developments regarding the scheme, DDC Additions, Notes and Decisions is published at intervals. This bulletin is a useful pointer to changes to be incorporated in due course in the DDC schedules. 11 Study of Selected Schemes of Classification 10.5.4 Use of DDC Though DDC was criticised often, it was adopted by libraries rapidly and widely both at home and abroad. Surveys of the use of DDC prove this fact. Its use was so substantial even by 1901 that in that year the American Library Association's Catalog Section voted unanimously that DDC numbers should appear on the ensuing Library of Congress printed catalog cards. Hence, due to mounting pressures from the profession, an office was established in the Library of Congress in 1930 for assigning DDC numbers to the titles catalogued by the Library. Following the LC example, H.W. Wilson Company's catalog cards and standards catalogs, the ALA:S Book List, R.R. Bowker's Publishers' Weekly and American Book Publishing Record, and,,,., later British National Bibliography's catalogue cards and bibliographies, started providing DDC numbers to specific titles. Self Check Exercise 5) List the various forms of revision of DDC. 6) What is a phoenix schedule. The scheme continues the developments seen in the three previous editions. It attempts to consolidate the generally accepted and well-received revisions and additions included in the earlier two editions. There are more entries, provision for more topics and therefore more opportunities to build numbers. The scheme now has greater potential for detailed classification, much more than what the 21,504 entries in the schedules suggest. DDC 19th edition appeared in three volumes: Volume 1 - Introduction: Tables; Volume 2 - Schedules; and Volume 3 - Relative Index. This was the fourth and final edition to appear under the editorship of Benjamin Custer who took over-the task following the fiasco of the fifteenth edition. Even though Volume I (Tables) and Volume 3 (Relative Index) are very important auxiliaries, Volume 2 (Schedules) forms the core of the- scheme. We would do well to treat it at length. 10.6.1 Schedules Schedules are, the main part of the scheme, consisting of 21,504 entries into which the Universe of Knowledge is divided and sub-divided at successive stages of division till the desired level of specificity is obtained. Basic plan: In accordance with the scheme's basic principle of division by discipline, the 12 nineteenth edition also continues with the same ten divisions of the Universe of Knowledge with tine main classes and one generalia class. Many of these main classes like Pure Sciences, Technology, and Social Sciences include several academic disciplines., The modem grouping of disciplines is into areas of studies like the Humanities, Social Sciences, Pure. Sciences and Applied Sciences. In DDC, disciplines like Philosophy, Language, Literature, etc., which -come under the Humanities are treated as coordinate subjects with Social Sciences, Pure Sciences and Applied Sciences. The fact that six of the nine main classes in DDC belong to the field of Humanities reflects the state of learning in the nineteenth century. Dewey gave each of classification status equal to that of Social Sciences, Pure Sciences and Applied Sciences. Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) In the first division of ten main classes, 0-9 which embraces the whole of human knowledge, the class 0 is used for Generalities. The DDC Generalities includes general newspapers and encyclopaedias and other works dealing with many subjects from many points of view, and also certain specialised disciplines that deal with knowledge generally, such as library and information science, museology and journalism. Each of the main classes 1-9-consists of a major discipline (area of study). Following are the ten main classes with their assigned meaning: 000 Generalities 100 Philosophy and related disciplines 200 Religion 300 Social Sciences 400 Languages 500 Pure Sciences 600 Technology (Applied Sciences) 700 The Arts 800 Literature (Belles-lettres) 900 General. Geography and History and their auxiliaries Thus, the ten main classes are represented by the numbers 000 to 900. In these numbers, the digit occupying the, first position, that is, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.9 convey the assigned meanings. The two terminal zeroes are added to fill out a number to three digits. This is in accordance with the three digit minimum principle of DDC introduced in the second edition. These terminal zeroes 'are given their normal arithmetical value. Thus, the notation used to designate each class consists of a hundred three-digit numbers, e.g., 500-599 for the Pure Sciences. Divisions: Each main class consists of ten divisions,, numbers 0-9. These division numbers occupy the second position in the notation. For example, Division 0 within each main class is used for general works on the entire main class and divisions 1-9 for subdivisions of the main class. For example, 50 is devoted to general works on Pure Sciences. Each division can be further subdivided into ten sections, and nine sections 13 Study of Selected Schemes of Classification in the case of general works division. Thus, 501 Philosophy. 502 Miscellany 503 Dictionaries and encyclopedias 504 Vacant 505 Serial publications 506 Organisations 507 Study and teaching 508 Travel and surveys 509 Historical and geographical treatment Thus, digits 1-9 in the third position of the above set of numbers indicate the sections of the division 0 (in the second position) of the main class 5. In other words, the third position stands for the section. Sections: Likewise, each division, say 51 Mathematics, 52 Astronomy, 53 Physics and so on, is capable of having ten sections. Thus, the full span of section numbers for each division in the above example is 510-519, 520-529, 530-539 and so on. In the sections, the 0 in the third position in the number is applied to general works on the entire divisions, and 1-9 are used for subdivisions. For example, 530 is assigned to Physics in general and 531-539 to the sub-divisions of Physics. The scheme permits further sub-division to any degree desired in the same manner of successive division into ten classes in line with the decimal notation. A decimal point is placed between the third and fourth digits. Thus, 536 heat is divided into 536.1 Theories 536.2 Transmission 536.3 Radiation 536.4 Effects of heat on matter 536.5 Temperature 536.3 Radiation is further divided as 536.31 Reflection 536.32 Refraction 536.33 Radiation 536.34 Absorption Here, in this particular example, the division stops at the fifth order of division. But, it need not always necessarily be so. A class number is divided till the desired specificity is obtained. There is no limit to the number of digits following the decimal point. To illustrate this, let us take another example. 390 394 394.2 Customs, etiquette, folklore General customs Special occasions 394.26 394.268 394.268 2 394.268 28 394.268 282 14 Holidays Specific holidays Religious Christian Christmas You will notice that a space is left between the sixth and seventh digits. The space between the sixth and seventh digits of the last three numbers in the above example is not a basic part j of the notation. These spaces are left after every three digits beyond the decimal point in all numbers for ease in reading and copying. There are several such instances at further levels of divisions. Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) Self Check Exercise 7) Briefly explain the use of the digit 0 in the DDC notation for the schedules. 8) What do you understand by the three-digit minimum principle in DDC. Dewey adopted a pure notation (almost pure with only occasional use of letters) based on the IndoArabic numerals. This choice of numerals made the scheme universally acceptable, but restricted its capacity to derive only nine places at each stage of division, as the zero is ordinarily used for general works. Hierarchy in notation: Another major characteristic of the notation is its hierarchical structure. Dewey decided that the notation should express the hierarchical order of classes. Hierarchy in notation means that at each level there is an array of mutually exclusive classes, which are coordinate to each other. The specificity of the class.The classes at any given level are subordinate to the class at the level above it and super-ordinate to the classes below it. The following example illustrates the hierarchical structure present in both the notation and the structure: 500 510 516 516.3 516.37 516.
