A Practical Guide to Dewey Decimal Classification is a hands-on introduction to the world’s most frequently used classification system. The book gives a brief history of the scheme and discusses the theory behind the organization and construction of Dewey class numbers. However, I would like to go further and walk through the process of finding DDC numbers and how to build them using WebDewey, the online resource for accessing DDC. Since DDC is no longer published in print (as of June 2018), it is important that readers understand the basics of using WebDewey. End-of-chapter exercises let readers assess their learning. Chapter coverage is complete: 1. Introduction 2. Dewey Decimal Classification in a Nutshell 3. Basic Principles of Classification (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 4. Searching and Browsing in WebDewey (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 5. Using Notes and the Manual (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 6. Number Building in DDC (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 7. Using Tables within the Schedules (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 8. Advanced Class Number Building Using Table 1 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 9. Advanced Class Number Building Using Table 2 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 10. Advanced Class Number Building Using Tables 3-6 (Exercises at the end of the chapter) 11. Conclusion; DDC Resources Appendix: Answers to chapter exercises

This book covers all of the major library classification schemes in use in Europe, UK and US; it includes practical exercises to demonstrate their application. Importantly, classifying electronic resources is also discussed. The aim of the book is to demystify a very complex subject, and to provide a sound theoretical underpinning, together with practical advice and development of practical skills. The book fills the gap between more complex theoretical texts and those books with a purely practical approach. Chapters concentrate purely on classification rather than cataloguing and indexing, ensuring a more in-depth coverage of the topic. - Covers the latest Dewey Decimal Classification, 22nd edition - Provides practical advice on which schemes will be most suitable for different types of library collection - Covers classification of electronic resources and taxonomy construction

Now thoroughly updated to include recent changes with RDA, this easy-to-use primer provides an introduction to standardized cataloging that will benefit library technicians as well as students in library technician and teacher librarian programs. This easy-to-use primer provides a complete introduction to current standard cataloging practice. The simple language, helpful examples, and clear descriptions of processes and techniques make it a valuable tool for any beginning cataloger or worker in a technical services department. Updated with key information about RDA principles and practices and following the same pragmatic approach as the first edition, the book empowers students with an understanding of the core principles and language of cataloging. Readers will learn how to apply standard descriptive cataloging rules to assign subject headings and classification numbers and to create electronic records. The book first examines the cataloging-in-publication data found on the verso of most books. Then, chapter by chapter, it explains how this data can be developed into a full bibliographic record that can be used in an online public catalog, covering all types of material formats (books, audiovisuals, images, sound, electronic resources and more). This guide will also serve as a workbook in formal education programs or distance education programs and be useful to library technicians and those working in areas where formal training is inaccessible.
