The scheme called Dewey Decimal Classification was devised in 1876 by Melvil Dewey. Now it has an incredible history of 136 years of boundless success. This scheme is widely used in majority of libraries in about 150 countries. This is the result of continuous revision that the 23rd edition of DDC has been published in July 2011. No other classification scheme has published so many editions. Some welcome changes have been made in DDC 23. The present book is an attempt to explain with suitable examples, the salient provisions of DDC 23. The book is written in a simple and lucid language so that even the students do not face any difficulty. The examples in the book are explained in a step-by-step procedure. It is hoped that this book would be of great help and would be very useful to the library professionals at large, library classifiers, in general and library and information science students, in particular.

This tale of a book-loving tough guy in a decimated Manhattan is “like Motherless Brooklyn dosed with Charlie Huston . . . Delirious and haunting” (Megan Abbott, author of Give Me Your Hand). After a flu pandemic, a large-scale terrorist attack, and the total collapse of Wall Street, New York City is reduced to a shadow of its former self. As the city struggles to dig itself out of the wreckage, a nameless, obsessive-compulsive veteran with a spotty memory, a love for literature, and a strong if complex moral code (that doesn’t preclude acts of extreme violence) has taken up residence at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Forty-second Street. Dubbed “Dewey Decimal” for his desire to reorganize the library’s stock, he gets by as bagman and muscle for New York City’s unscrupulous district attorney. He takes no pleasure in this kind of civic dirty work. He’d be perfectly content alone amongst his books. But this is not in the cards, as the DA calls on Dewey for a seemingly straightforward union-busting job. What unfolds throws Dewey into a mess of danger, shifting allegiances, and old vendettas, forcing him to face the darkness of his own past and the question of his buried identity . . . “The Dewey Decimal System is proof positive that the private detective will remain a serious and seriously enjoyable literary archetype.” —PopMatters
