Dewey Decimal Classification
Most library users are familiar with Melvil Dewey's decimal classification system. First published in 1876, this general knowledge organization tool divides materials into ten main classes. The Dewey Decimal Classification is the most widely used classification system in the world. Its simple and logical framework is based on the principle of decimal fractions as class marks, which are expandable to make further subdivisions. Read more about DDC.
