Classification has
other communications media. In addition, continuing Melvil Dewey's commitment to provide libraries with a subject approach for arranging their collections, the schedules have been expanded and number-building devices have
been developed to permit further specification by language, geography, litera-
by standard subdivisions.
The first edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification was tested by applying
it to the collection of books in the Amherst College Library. It was immediately
and enthusiastically received by libraries in the United States. Since that time,
and especially in recent years, the Classification has spread to more than 130
and persons,
as well as
countries throughout the world, a testimonial to

its
domestic,
utility.

Forest Press and the Forest Press Committee are assisted in their editorial
responsibilities by an advisory group known as the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee. The Editorial Policy Committee represents the libraries
that use Dewey, and usually meets twice a year on matters relating to the
development of the Classification. The Committee is made up of professionals
who have experience in a wide variety of libraries, here and abroad, and
who are well versed in the theory and application of the Classification. The
members of the Committee who served during the preparation of Edition
19 are listed in the Preface.
For the actual editing of the Schedules, Tables, and Index, Forest Press
contracts with the Library of Congress, whose table of organization includes
a Decimal Classification Division within its Processing Department. The Chief
of the Decimal Classification Division, which oversees the application of Dewey
numbers to Library of Congress catalog cards, is also the Editor of the Classification. In this way classification theory and practice are combined, allowing
for continuous and thorough editorial review. The past four editions, 16
through 19, have been edited under the expert direction of Benjamin A. Custer.
A major innovation for Edition 19 should be brought to the attention of
users of the Dewey Decimal Classification. The Forest Press Committee and
the Executive Director have been working for several years with consultants
at Arthur D. Little, Inc., studying and analyzing the potential benefits that
might accrue to the development of the Classification through the appUcation
of computer technology. Feasibility studies indicated such sufficiently positive
results that this edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification was produced
by computerized photocomposition. It is expected that the success of this edition will dictate continuation of the process. In addition, computer technology
will have a positive impact on the editorial process.
The international acceptance of the Dewey Decimal Classification continues
to grow. The British National Bibliography adopted Edition 18 in 1971, permitting British libraries and many others throughout the English-speaking world
to apply Dewey numbers to their collections. The Canadian, Indian, South
African, and Australian National Bibliographies also use
Dewey numbers
In July 1977, a change of administration at Forest Press took place, at which

time the undersigned succeeded Richard B. Sealock as Executive Director.
During Richard Sealock's nine-year tenure as Executive Director, the Press
and all its publications enjoyed wide acclaim from the library community
throughout the world, a tribute to Mr. Sealock's professional competence and

ability.

The Decimal

of the Dewey Decimal Classification. Its constituency consists of libraries, the
users of the Classification, and it is their needs that primarily concern the
Committee. The membership of the Editorial Policy Committee therefore
represents as wide and divergent a group of library interests as possible, and

includes a representative of the (British) Library Association, in recognition of the growing international application of the Classification. In addition,
Canadian librarian, a member of the American Library Association, also

serves on the Committee. With its users in mind, the Committee advises the
publisher of the DDC, Forest Press, and also works with the Editor of the
DDC, carefully overseeing changes and innovations in the Classification.
Each edition of the DDC is greeted with mixed feelings, for it is composed
of the cherished old and the unknown new. Edition 19, in the Committee's
estimation, has been faithful to stability where stability is more useful than
change, and it has been changed where a new vision serves us better than
the old. There are only three phoenix sections in Edition 19: (1) the badly
crowded 301 section has been replaced by Phoenix 301-307 Sociology; (2)
political parties, regardless of their locale, have been provided for by Phoenix
324 The political process; and (3) extensive changes in the local subdivisions
of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales have been provided for
by phoenix treatment of area notations 41-42. A detailed review of the changes
in Edition 19 is presented by the Editor in sections 1-3 of his introduction.
Though the problems and special needs of libraries using the DDC in countries throughout the world continued to receive careful consideration in the
preparation of Edition 19, a special attempt was made during this time to
gather data regarding the use of the DDC in the United States and Canada.
This user survey, sponsored by Forest Press and conducted in 1975, was an
attempt to determine the problems of DDC users in the United States and
Canada and to seek the opinion of librarians in these two countries regarding
the development of the DDC. Some of what was learned in the survey has

group coming from many of the over one hundred lands in which the system
is known to be used, they have read, studied, commented upon, queried,

in a most helpful manner.
Formal groups connected with library associations have provided me with
invaluable advice and guidance. Among these are the Subject Analysis Committee and the Policy and Research Committee of the Cataloging and Classification
Section of the Resources and Technical Services Division of the American
Library Association, the Dewey Decimal Classification Sub-Committee of The
(United Kingdom) Library Association, the Dewey Decimal Classification Liaison Committee of the Library Association of Australia, and a group from the
South African Library Association.
I should like also to extend my deep appreciation to those libraries with
which the Decimal Classification Division corresponds regularly on interpretation of particular numbers and their centralized application to specific titles,
that is. The British Library (especially Joel C. Downing and Robert R. Trotter),
and the national libraries of Canada (Cynthia Durance, Clarisse Cardin, Blair
Cowan), Australia (Janet Braithwaite, Judith Baskin, Peter Haddad), and South
Africa (Mrs. E. Nel). Expansions and improvements in the area table for the
British Isles, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Latin America, and France have
been made through cooperative efforts with libraries or librarians in the counconcerned.
I have received unstinting support and cooperation from those individuals
who are associated officially or formally with the Dewey Decimal Classification.
These include the members of the Forest Press Committee, whose names

the greater breadth and depth of knowledge, but also of the growing use of
the Classification as an efficient method of organizing materials by subject
and of retrieving information from machine-readable storage. However, the
determination of how far to expand a given section continues to be based
on a calculation of how many titles there are in that field or how many may
be expected, i.e., on literary warrant.
A comparative table of the number of schedule and table entries in Editions
18 and 19 follows. This does not include centered entries, which are duplicated
by the separate entries that follow and are encompassed by them. Neither
does it include entries for which the numbers are printed in square brackets.
"Entries that may be expanded" are those entries included in the total that
can be developed into many entries by the application of instructions that
appear in the schedules and tables. When one considers that every number
can also be expanded by application of Tables 1, 2, 5, and 7, it is obvious

While optional provisions to meet the needs of countries
outside the United States have grown in number and in detail, some of the
other options that have been authorized during the years to satisfy the needs
of particular libraries, but that do not promote correct classification, have
been discontinued. Libraries following such options will continue to sacrifice
the benefits to be derived from numbers assigned by centralized classification

they were the standard subdivisions of the social sciences.

major objective of libraries is to see

that optimum use is made of their collections by leading each reader or student
as directly as possible to the material that he needs. As an aid to the achievement of this purpose, nearly all libraries find it helpful, indeed necessary, to
apply subject control to their books and other materials.
One such form is classification, or systematic arrangement by subject. To
classify a collection of objects is to place together in classes those objects which
have certain characteristics in common and to separate from them the objects
which do not have those characteristics. For instance, textile fabrics can be
classified (1) according to the process by which they are made, each of which
may then be considered a separate class, e.g., knitted material, braided material, crocheted lace, woven cloth. Fabrics can also be classified according to
any one of several other principles, such as: (2) according to the material

Librarians classify their works (books, periodicals, pamphlets, sound recordsubclasses, especially
if
maps, microforms, and other media of information and communication) according to various kinds of characteristics. For
example, because of diflFering problems of shelving, handling, and giving service, they usually separate recordings, films, atlases, newspapers, and the like,
from bound volumes of more or less conventional size: in this case the characings, films, slides, pictures, prints,

reading collections, or books of current interest may be set aside in separate
groups. But most commonly, either overall or within such categories as those
named above, librarians classify works according to subject content. For example, they bring together the history books and separate them from the engineering books, within the history section they bring together the books on
United States history and separate them from the books on European history,
and within the U.S. history group they bring together works on Abraham
Lincoln and the Civil War and separate them from works on Franklin D.
Roosevelt and the New Deal. Such an arrangement is most useful for eflFective
retrieval of the kind of information wanted by the majority of patrons and
the librarians serving them.
In addition to organizing materials by subject arrangement on shelves, libraries also develop catalogs, bibliographies, and indexes in which they list books,

Use of one of the recognized systems has the further advantages (1) that
the arrangement and notation of each are widely known and comprehended
by other librarians and also by laymen, and (2) that in the case of some of
the systems, notably Dewey, Library of Congress, and Universal Decimal, individual works are centrally classed by one or more bibliographic services whose
decisions may be utilized by subscribing institutions.
Of these commonly used systems, Dewey's Decimal Classification is the oldest and most widely used. In the United States it is the system followed by a
substantial majority of all libraries, including nearly all public libraries and
school libraries; in other English-speaking countries it has been adopted by
a majority of libraries; elsewhere it has users in almost every nation on the

In 1895 the forerunner of what

now
the International Federation for
Documentation (FID), by agreement with Melvil Dewey as to concordance

and bibliographic use, adopted the Decimal Classification as the basis for its
international subject index. This grew into the Classification Decimale, otherwise known as the Brussels Classification or, now, as the Universal Decimal
Classification (UDC), which has itself been translated into many languages.
While many diflFerences between DDC and UDC have appeared in the intervening years, the foundations of the two remain recognizably the same.
5 Dewey Decimal Classification.
5.1 Structure.
5.11 Basic plan. The Dewey Decimal Classification is a hierarchical system
using the decimal principle for the subdivision of knowledge, as represented
in publications; that is, each group in the successive division of knowledge,
from the broadest to the most minute, is divided on a base of ten.
The first division is into ten main classes, 0-9, which embrace the whole
of human knowledge and intellectual endeavor. Main class is used for general
works on many subjects from many points of view, such as general newspapers
and encyclopedias, and also for certain specialized disciplines that deal with
knowledge generally, such as information and communication, library science,
and journalism. Main classes 1-9 consist each of a major discipline or group
of related disciplines. Following are the ten main classes with their assigned
meanings:

out by the addition of a zero, are 600 for general works on main class
6, 610 for medical sciences, 620 for engineering, 630 for agriculture.
Again, each division has, or at least is capable of having, ten sections, also
numbered 0-9. The section numbers occupy the third position in the notation.
filled
Thus, the full span of section numbers for each division listed above is 600in the third position
609, 610-619, 620-629, 630-639. In the sections, the
in the number is appUed to general works on the entire division, and 1-9
are used for subsubclasses. Thus, 630 is assigned to agriculture and related
technologies in general, 631 to crops and their production, 632 to plant injuries,
diseases, pests, 633 to field crops, 636 to animal husbandry. The system permits
further subdivision to any degree desired, with a continued decimal notation,
which consists of the addition, following any set of three digits from 000 to
999, of a decimal point and as many more digits as may be required. Thus,
636 animal husbandry is divided into 636.1 horses and other equines, 636.2
cattle and other bovines, 636.3 sheep and other small ruminants, 636.4 swine,
636.5 poultry, 636.6 other birds, 636.7 dogs, 636.8 cats, 636.9 other warmblooded animals; 636.1 is further divided into 636.11 Oriental horses, 636.12
racehorses and trotters, 636.16 ponies, 636.18 other equines such as mules,
and
others.
Dewey are not necessarily limited each to a specific

or single subject. Although many subjects have their own numbers, e.g., husbandry of Arabian horses 636.112, many other specific subjects are grouped

5.12 Application of the Classification to specific works. Each work acquired by a library may be assigned to one of the main classes, divisions,
sections, or subsections to the degree of specificity provided by the schedules
of the DDC, or to any lesser degree of specificity appropriate to the situation
(see section 5.3), and it may be identified as belonging to its specific class by
use of the appropriate notation. (The word "class" is used to refer to a main
class or a subdivision of any degree, be it 300 or 330 or 338 or 338.47669.)
their auxiliaries
So that the structure may be more readily understood, in the following explanation we use one or two digits, although in practice the notation always consists
of at least three digits, with zero being given its normal arithmetical value
where required to fill out a number to three digits. Thus the full DDC notation
for main class 6 is 600. The notation used to designate the complete span of
each main class consists of one hundred three-digit numbers, e.g., 000-099
for generalities,
medical sciences, 62 to engineering and alHed operations, 63 to agriculture

and related technologies, etc. The full DDC notations for these divisions, each

The notation, or number, designates the work's class; when written on the

Each main class consists of ten divisions, likewise numbered 0-9. These
division numbers occupy the second position in the notation. Division

or "classed"catalogs are not well known in North America,
though widely used elsewhere. In them each work is entered under one or
several classification symbols (together with the natural-language concept that
each stands for), all arranged in systematic classified order. For example, if
the DDC is used, this brings together under 669 general works on metallurgy
and works on the metallurgy of copper, lead, zinc, tin, and aluminum, which,
in an alphabetic subject catalog, would be scattered from A through M to Z.
At the same time it separates works on copper industry (338), copper mining
(622), copper metallurgy (669), and copper art work (739), which, in an alphabetic subject catalog, would be fairly close together under the letters
from the point of view of ethics, in 392 if from the point of view
of customs, in 613 if from the point of view of hygiene. Similarly, a work on
water may be classed with many disciplines, such as metaphysics, religion,

classification leaves several works in a single class. To distinguish further the
works
and to expedite identification, shelving, and physical retrieval

many libraries add to the class number a book number; these together constitute the call number. The book number is usually based on authorship, but
may, as in biography, be based on alphabetical subarrangement of individual
subjects within the class notation. For the use and construction of book numbers
the reader should consult Bertha R. Barden's Book Numbers (Chicago, American Library Association, 1937). Many libraries select author numbers from
the Cutter or Cutter-Sanborn Author Tables {Chicopee, Mass., H. R. Huntting
Co.), or follow the system of Author Numbers used by the Library of Congress
(Washington, D.C.). Lists of author numbers have also been devised for libraries
in which the names have difi'erent letter frequencies than are normally to
be found in North American libraries, e.g., for libraries with mainly Hispanic
authors. A special book number arrangement for works by and about William
Shakespeare, which may be adapted for use with any other specific author,
appears in the DDC schedules under class 822.33.
Among the other systems used for separation of works within classes are
arrangement by authors' surnames spelled out, by initials of authors' surnames,
and by dates of publication.

or learning, is fundamental to an understanding of Dewey's system. The primary basis for DDC arrangement and development is by discipline, as defined
by the main and subordinate classes, while, strictly speaking, subjects, that
is,
concrete objects, abstract concepts, activities, or processes not necessarily

limited to one field of study, are secondary. There is no one place for any
subject in itself; a subject may appear in any or all of the disciplines. No
class can be said to cover the scope of marriage, or of water, or of copper,
or of Brazil; in other words, there is no single number for any of these concepts
or subjects. A work on marriage belongs in 306 if it treats the subject from
the point of view of sociology, in 155 if from the point of view of psychology.

(1) Sometimes there are steps in the successive

Such steps are shown in the schedules by spans of numbers called centered
on
entries, because they appear with numbers, headings, and notes centered
the page instead of with numbers in the usual number column. Centered
entries show the spread of a sequence of numbers which is spelled out in
detail immediately following, and help to show the organization of material
by substituting for a broad comprehensive number that does not exist and
cannot be inserted. For example, under 380 trade is covered in 381-382,
communication in 383-384, transportation in 385-388. There are no digits

of the standard subdivisions, listed in Table 1. Virtually any subject or discipline

may be presented in various forms: in a synopsis or outline, in a periodical,
in tables, in illustrations. Similarly, most subjects may have certain modes of
treatment in common: theory, technique, study and teaching, history. These

common forms and modes are designated collectively as standard subdivisions,
and they may be applied wherever they are appropriate. Their notation consists
These
digits may be added to any significant notation taken or derived from the
schedules, e.g., serials on the applied sciences 605 (main class 6 plus standard

63 plus 05, with a decimal point following the third digit), serials on animal
husbandry 636.05, on racehorses 636.1205.
5.3 Versatility and flexibility. A valuable feature of Dewey, not
shared by some of the other commonly used classification systems, is the adaptability of its notation to the needs of libraries of difi'erent sizes and natures.
The DDC can be used equally as well for broad classification as for close.
For example, a small library, or a large one with only a few titles on the
subject, can class the production of any and all field crops in 633, without
subdivision. A somewhat larger library can class general works in 633, works
on production of cereal crops in 633.1, of forage crops in 633.2 and so on. A
library with a still larger collection can divide its books into such detail as it
requires. As any library's collection increases in size, its books can be diff'erentiated to a finer and finer degree of specificity simply by the addition of further
digits to the notation. A work on crystal radio sets can be placed in 621, 621.3,
621.38, 621.384, 621.3841, 621.38413, 621.384136, 621.3841366, depending

on the degree of closeness in classification required. The full edition of the

DDC may be used by general libraries of any size, from the largest, which
may follow it in full detail for most subjects, to the smallest, which may reduce
any or all schedules to the degree considered desirable. The abridged edition
supplies reduction on a ready-made basis and is convenient for small libraries
to use on that account. Except at and below its own level, the abridged version
does not uniformly provide help in making judicious decisions about what
schedules to reduce and how far to reduce them to meet specific local needs;
this the classifier must decide on the basis of the recognized demands of the
local situation and expected patterns of growth.

Note: In this guide an extensive repetition of pronouns to denote the classifier

is unavoidable. While realizing that some readers will find distasteful the
constant use of ''he, " ''his, " and "him, " to refer generically to classifiers of
both sexes, the editors and the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee find any other device or circumlocution either awkward or artificial, or
an intrusion upon the sense of the exposition, and they have agreed to use
the traditional masculine forms in their generic sense.
6 Preliminaries. Before the classifier tries to use the Dewey Decimal Classification, he should acquaint himself with the system as a whole. In particular,
he should study the three main summaries at the end of this volume and
learn the first summary of the ten main classes; he should then leaf through
the schedules in volume 2, observing the many summaries of specific portions

the full meaning and force of 621.3841366, he must view it as a part of
621.384136, which, in turn, is a part of 621.38413, which is a part of 621.3841,
a part of 621.384, which is a part of 621.38, which is a part of 621.3,

both the economics and the technology of the textile manufacturing industry;
of both nuclear physics and nuclear engineering; of both architectural design

8 Basic rules for selection of class number. Before considering the problems involved in the application of the schedules to such compound and complex subjects as those just mentioned, it is desirable to delineate the procedures
work on one subject in one discipline.

8.1 Approach.
Having determined the subject of the work, and the discipline within which that subject is treated, the classifier is ready to class it,
or place it within the system. There are two basic approaches to the Classification: direct, through the schedules, and indirect, through the index. Beginners
for classing a
approach speedier, but it is not recommended because it delays the process of becoming fully acquainted with the system. In
fact, the classifier should note that, whether he is a beginner or an expert,
he should never class solely from the index. The index provides leads to the
schedules but is not exhaustive and can never reproduce the wealth of information available in them. On the other hand, the index can be used profitably
to verify the correctness of a number chosen from the schedules.
If his approach is direct, the classifier will first determine into which of
the ten main classes the work falls. If the subject is copper, he must decide
whether it relates to the science of copper (class 5, i.e., 500-599), the technology
of copper (class 6), the economics of the copper industry (class 3), artistic
work in copper (class 7), or even copper in the Koran (class 2). Having chosen
the proper main class, then, excluding all other main classes from his mind,
he determines into which of its divisions the book falls. If the subject is copper
technology, it may be copper as an engineering material (division 62, i.e.,
620-629), fabrication of articles in copper (67), copper in hardware (68), in
building (69). Then in the same way he determines the proper section, subsection, and subsubsection, until he has come to the most specific number, used
by or appropriate to the library, that will encompass the subject of the work.
(See also section 10 on reduction.) Even if that number is less specific than
the subject of the work in hand, he has found the right place. Possibly a
future expansion will give an even more detailed number. For example, a
work on the infinitive in the English language belongs under 425, even though
425 encompasses all of English grammar.
At each step on the way the classifier should look carefully at the notes
and directions, making certain that he has not followed a false trail, perhaps
even chosen the wrong main class. He should not depend solely on the three
main summaries or on any of the special summaries; they exist only to speed

he knows the schedules well, the classifier may start at once with a specific

one that characterizes his work, he can then turn to the correct part
of the schedules and analyze the specific number that appears to fit. The
more reliable approach, however, is to go directly to the schedules, using
the index if necessary to locate the proper discipline; only when he is uncertain
specific
about the relevance of a particular part of the schedules is it recommended

that the classifier turn to the index. For more detailed information on use of

A full description of the important features of the headings and notes follows
in sections 8.2-8.6.
Each heading consists of a word or phrase so inclusive that

incomit covers all subordinate topics and entries. The actual wording may be
plete, because, from the principle of hierarchy, the heading must be read as
part of the larger group that includes it, e.g., at 469 "Portuguese" means
the Portuguese language, but at 869 the same heading means Portuguese

terms separated by commas, are coordinate and mutually exclusive, e.g., in

the first includes but is broader than the second, e.g., in the same table,

721-727 comprises Mexico. A term in parentheses is synAmerica, but only

A heading includes the total concept expressed by it, even if some parts
of that total concept are explicitly provided for in numbers that are not subdivisions of the number assigned to the heading. Cross references (section 8.58)
lead the classifier to component parts of the concept which, when dealt with
separately, are classed in numbers that are not notationally subordinate to

be used, inasmuch as a work on construction for several specific

purposes, with a chapter devoted to each, would be classed in 690. On the
other hand, when the text says "various specific," works dealing collectively
with a number of instances of the subject are to be classed in the number
at hand. For example, 693 "Construction in various specific materials" has
subdivisions and is itself to be used for a work on construction in several
diflFerent materials, e.g., in masonry, in wood, in tiles, in metals, with a chapter
devoted to each.
8.3 Definitions, scope notes, example notes.
In some instances a
heading requires, for complete understanding, the limitations stated in the
note following it, e.g., 790.068 Recreation centers: "Indoor and outdoor." Others are followed by definitions, e.g., 330 Economics: "The science of human
behavior as it relates to utilization of scarce means for satisfaction of needs
and desires through production, distribution, consumption." When no definition is given, the term is understood to be used as delimited by its subdivisions,
or as defined in Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English
Language, or in other general unabridged dictionaries.
Other headings are followed by scope notes enumerating specific qualifications applicable to the subject and its subdivisions, e.g., 631.2 Agricultural
structures: "Description, use, place in agriculture" of farmhouses (631.21), of
barns (631.22), and of other structures. These aspects of agricultural buildings
are thus difiêrentiated from the architectural aspects; classification of farmhouses in 728.67 and of barns in 728.922 when considered architecturally is
governed by part of the scope note under 725-728: "interdisciplinary works

A special kind of comprehensive work is the interdisciplinary work, which
deals with the topic from the point of view of more than one discipline, e.g.,
669: "Class here interdisciplinary works on metals," which is to say, class here
and in appropriate subdivisions works dealing with metals, or a specific metal,

metallurgy, industrial fabricating, art work, economics. For more detail, see

Because there are sometimes legitimate reasons

for placing works in numbers other than those provided in the schedules,
some alternatives are provided, with the editors' preference clearly shown.
For example, 936.2 Southern Britain to [the year] 410: "If preferred [i.e., if

in standard subdivisions. Standard subdivisions, which are enumerated in Table 1, generally consist of two or more
which the first is 0, and may be used with any number at any level
whenever they are appropriate. (See section 8.7 for application of standard
subdivisions.) But in some classes, for various reasons, notation beginning with
is or has previously been used for another purpose, in which case the classifier
is instructed to use two Os, e.g., "Use 335.001-335.009 for standard subdivisions." On occasion he is instructed to use for this purpose three or even
four Os. This instruction does not have hierarchical force, but applies only
exactly as stated, except under the circumstances described below in the second
example in section 8.545.
Sometimes the use of a
for another purpose appears inconspicuously in
an add note (see section 8.54). For example, at 327.3-.9, is added to 327.41
foreign policies and relations of the United Kingdom before the addition of
another area number for France 327.41044, or the United States 327.41073,
or the Far East 327.4105. It follows that standard subdivisions on United Kingdom foreign policy must be classed in 327.41001-327.41009. Otherwise
327.4105 would be doing double duty, for general works on foreign relations
between the United Kingdom and the Far East and also for serial publications
on foreign policies and relations in general of the United Kingdom. The classifier is reminded of this requirement by an asterisk and footnote, "Use extra
digits of
Os for standard subdivisions; see instructions at beginning of Table 1."

8.544 General suggestions. The classifier should add only to the extent
that is appropriate to the sequence that is to be developed. Occasionally some
numbers in a sequence from which numbers are to be added should be omitted
because the topics in those numbers are otherwise provided for. For example,

614.59 "[Incidence, distribution, control of] other diseases" means diseases

(a) An example of a table of precedence appears at 362, telling the classifier

in 331.2574 for night work. If the classifier happens to arrive first at 331.398,
he will find in the first note under 331.3-331.6 that conditions of employment
of special classes of workers are to be classed here; thus, whether he starts

591.525 for migrations is combined with 599.0 to produce 59 9.0525 for migrations of mammals. (The note at 591 is a cross reference rather than a cross
classification note, but serves the same function. See section 8.58.)
(2) Since in the notation for the development of a subject the digit
may
be used to introduce a change in the basis of division, and since subdivisions
without

subdivisions without
notation before those with
notation, to one

of Jehovah's Witnesses on salvation in 234 Salvation, not in 230.992 doctrines
of Jeho\'ah's Witnesses, and even less so in 230.044 Protestant theology.
In the rare instances where this general rule for Os is not to be applied
there is a specific instruction in the schedules. For example, in accordance
with the instruction at centered entry 262.3-262.4, class government and organization of United Methodist Church in 262.076, not 262.3.
nor a difference in the number
(3) If there are neither stated instructions
of Os (two or more characteristics of division are sometimes provided for in
notation with the same number of Os as well as in notation with no Os) cite
by most specific discipline and subject, then by geographic specification, i.e.,
place, then by temporal specification, i.e., time, then by form. Example: Class
earthquakes in Japan in 551.220952 (551.22 Earthquakes, 0952 Japan), not
in 555.2 (Geology of Japan).
It
may be observed that, since place and time specifications are mostly shown
by standard subdivisions 091-099 and 0901-0905 respectively, and since standard subdivisions may be used with any subject (see section 8.7) though not
place and time subdivisions together except where specifically provided for
as at 330.9 it is usually feasible in the notation to show a place or time characteristic in addition to any other characteristics.

things, kinds, parts, or materials; agents performing such operations. Example:

general applicability, see section 8.76.

8.56 Relocations, A relocation is an adjustment in the schedules resulting
in the shifting of a topic between successive editions from one number to
another that differs in respects other than length, e.g., the shift of mosaic
painting from 751.48 in Edition 18 to 738.5 in Edition 19. Similarly the shift
from 940.11 to 940.12 of the period 500-799 in European history is a relocation,
but the extension of 759.06 to 759.0663 for surrealism in painting is not.

If the relocation is total, i.e., if the entire number formerly used is to be
vacated, the number is enclosed in square brackets, and there is an instruction
showing where the subject formerly in that number is now placed, e.g., [751.48]
Mosaic painting: "Class in 738.5."
If the relocation is only partial, it is indicated in an instruction note, e.g.,
704.947 Mythology and legend: "Class religious mythology [formerly 7 04.947]
in 704.948."
Total relocations are not to be confused with other, similar types of entries
in square brackets and their instructions. One type, described more fully in
section 8.73, is entries showing that concepts normally belonging in standard
subdivision notations are to be placed instead in other numbers, e.g., [720.93]
[Architecture] in the ancient world: "Do not use; class in 722." Another is
entries and instructions showing schedule reduction, e.g., [355.229] Womanpower: "Number discontinued; class in 355.22"; this is not a relocation, but
a mere shortening of the number that was assigned to this topic in the previous
edition. (However, the effect of all these, like that of the class elsewhere notes
described in section 8.57, is the same: the classifier is instructed to class elsewhere a topic that he may have reason to think he should class at the point
of instruction.)
Relocation notes are hierarchical in force at the point of instruction, and

usually also at the point led to. For example, the note under 614.3, "Class
[product hazards] in 363.19," tells the classifier that, while the subject was
formerly in 614.3 and appropriate subdivisions, it is now to be classed in 363.19,

Neither should this restriction apply if the subject of the work, even though
less than the whole number, constitutes the greater part of the number ("approximates the whole"), or constitutes several subdivisions of it. Nor should
the restriction apply if the subject of the work overlaps or is broader than

repeated instructions in footnotes.

All other parts of an entry have hierarchical force.
8.7 Standard subdivisions. Having analyzed the number chosen for the
work in hand through all the steps of its hierarchical ladder, and having decided
that it is the best and most specific number, the classifier is ready to consider
what further specification is desirable, i.e., whether any of the standard subdivisions are applicable. If, for example, the work deals with the subject in the
United States only, or in Norway or in Fiji, he may add 0973 or 09481 or

099611, as the case may be. The complete list of standard subdivisions appears
in Table 1 in this volume.
8.71 Restrictions. The classifier should observe several important restrictions on the use of standard subdivisions.
8.711 Nonspecific numbers. The first is that, unless there are instructions
permitting their use, he should be cautious about adding standard subdivisions
to a number chosen for a work that deals with a subject more specific than
the content of the number, i.e., if the subject of the work does not have its

725.3301-.3309.
Contrary or special instructions are to be followed when given, e.g., at 760,
where 760.01-.09 are to be used for standard subdivisions of the broader concept in the heading, graphic arts, and 760.1-.9 for standard subdivisions of
the narrower concept, printmaking and prints.
8.712 Redundancy. A second restriction is that the classifier should not

8.713 Two or more. The editors recommend that the classifier not add
one standard subdivision to another standard subdivision unless there are specific instructions to do so. If the classifier finds that two or more standard
subdivisions are applicable to a particular work, he should use the table of
precedence at the beginning of Table 1 to determine which one he should
use. And if for some reason he feels he must use more than one, that table
indicates the order in which to use them.
standard subdivisions in their strictest sense are not involved in
any of the situations described above, the editors recommend that the classifier
not add notation for place twice, except when the work deals with a topic
of one place (which is really a subject qualification) in another place (which

Although it is their standard meanings that make

these subdivisions "standard," sometimes a particular standard subdivision
when applied to a given subject may logically be assigned one or more meanings that are extensions of and compatible with the basic meaning, and the
classifier will then find in the schedules an entry or group of entries specifying
the extension. For example, in 669.0282-.0284 a special expansion of standard
subdivision 028 is provided for techniques, procedures, apparatus, equipment
applicable to metallurgy, it being specified by note that the usual "materials"

in 701-709.
Sometimes a concept ordinarily placed in a standard subdivision number is found instead with an irregular notation; most
such instances date from earlier editions of the DDC, prepared before the
table of standard subdivisions became as detailed as it now is. These instances
are noted under the numbers where the classifier would normally expect to

quires special mention, 04 Special topics of general applicability. As the note

in Table 1 points out: "Use this subdivision only when it is specifically set

and its subdivisions as required." This device is introduced

at those places where no other kind of notation is feasible for this kind of
topic, and it follows the rules for citation order in section 8.55.
8.8 Subject not provided for. The fields of knowledge grow so fast
that any edition of the DDC is outdated before it appears. There is little
doubt that the classifier will have works on subjects for which the schedules
and index have provided no place either explicitly or implicitly. He should
not make up his own number for such a subject: the next edition could easily
place the subject in a different number and use the number he devised for
sions
it

something else. The classifier's guiding principle is to follow exactly the procedure outlined in section 8.1: to determine first the correct main class, then
the correct division, then the correct section, continuing until he has arrived
at the most specific entry that will contain the subject of his work. If he does
this carefully, he will rarely be proved wrong. He should always use the most
specific number possible in the schedules, even if it is only a three-digit number.
Then, if the editors supply a more detailed number later, he may use it by
simply adding digits to the number originally chosen. Two examples from
the past may be illustrative. Edition 16 provided for astronautical engineering
in 629.1388 (later relocated to 629.4) but for no other aspect of humankind
in space. A classifier with a work on bioastronautics (the physiology of humankind in space) might have been tempted to class it in 629.1388, but he should
have used 612.01 or even just 612, which was later expanded to 612.0145
for the precise subject. Edition 17 provided no place for DNA and RNA, but
a classifier following the principles outlined here would have used 574.873,
or more likely 574.87, and found his decision confirmed by the appearance
of both as "included" topics under 574.8732 in Edition 18 and by the specific
provision of 574.873282-.873283 in the present edition.
A third example is a classic illustration of what not to do. In the 14th and
prior editions 323.1, the relation of the state to races within it, was not developed in as much detail as it would be later, and 301 Sociology was hardly
developed at all. As a consequence many classifiers placed works on the sociology and political relations of Jews not in "standing room" in the broad numbers
301 and 323.1 respectively but in 296, which by the principle of hierarchy
should have been reserved for the religion of the Jews.
8.9 The value of position. The importance to the classifier of an awareness of the meaning of schedule structure cannot be overstated, and the princi-

The warning in section 8.711 to be cautious in using standard subdivisions
for a work that deals with less than the whole subject covered by the number
applies equally to those situations where standard subdivision concepts, including area and time specification, appear in irregular notation.
It is obvious that the classifier should not use a standard subdivision until
he has made sure from the schedules that it has not been assigned an irregular
notation or meaning.

are contrary instructions, the usual subdivisions to the standard subdivision

reducing the need for complex definitions and instructions. The position of a notation, whether for a direct or a general subdivision
of a topic, imparts a meaning to the provision attached to that notation. (See
section 8.551, Special topics of general applicability.)
Direct subdivisions follow superordinate entries without the interposition
of Os in the notation. The length of the notation is generally a reliable indication
of the degree of specificity of the entry in relation to its basic discipline. The
specific entry regardless of length is described by the preceding superordinate
entries (those with shorter notation) all the way up to the main class. A topic

General subdivisions are usually developed from superordinate entries
through the introduction into the notation of one or more Os. Standard subdivisions are of this category. General subdivisions always precede direct subdivisions of the entry to which they are subordinate. However, general (0)
concepts that apply to direct (non-0) subdivisions of that entry must be
classed with those subdivisions. For example, periodicals on agriculture

guidance.

more interrelated
(1) The classifier should class a work dealing with two or
subjects with the one that receives the chief emphasis. This emphasis may
be a reflection of the relative amount of space devoted to each subject, or
of the author's purpose, or of both. For example, as a general rule the classifier
should class with Keats an analytical work dealing with Shakespeare's influence
on Keats. The author's purpose in such a work may be said to be an exposition
of Keats's work. Even though the treatment of Shakespeare may actually occupy more space, if the author's purpose is pervasive throughout then greater
weight should be given to purpose, which would place the work with other
9.1
works on Keats. But if the treatment of Keats occupies only a small portion
of the work, say less than a third, and does not permeate the portion that
deals specifically with Shakespeare, then the preponderance of space devoted
to Shakespeare should carry more weight than the author's purpose of explaining Keats, and the work should be placed with other works on Shakespeare.
Such decisions are sometimes very difficult to make.

work on three or more subjects that are all subdivisions of a broader subject
that are not particularly interrelated,
e.g.,
with the broader one, e.g., a work dealing approximately equally with Hinduism (294.5), Judaism (296), and Islam (297) in 290. If the three or more
constitute the major part of the broader subject, he may use standard subdivisions as if his work approximated the whole broader subject (see section 8.711).
If the three or more are not part of a single broader subject or discipline,
he should class the work in the 000s, e.g., in 001 or 030 or 050 or 080.
(4) If no emphasis or preponderance is readily apparent and there are no
contrary instructions, he should class a work on two subjects with the one
coming first in the schedules, e.g., a work dealing equally with Judaism and
Islam in 296; however, if those two subjects are both subdivisions of a broader
subject and together constitute the major portion of the broader subject, he
should class the work with that broader subject (and use applicable standard
subdivisions as if his work approximated the whole broader subject), e.g., a
work dealing with lizards and snakes but not with the relatively unimportant
tuataras should be classed in 597.94 with the encompassing Lepidosauria rather
than in 597.95 lizards. Some classifiers prefer to class any work on two subjects
that are both part of a broader one with the broader, and some prefer to
class such a work with the one treated first in the work, but these procedures
are not recommended.

Some-
times there are steps in the successive divisions of a discipline or subject for

every centered entry is followed by a note stating what single number the

the application of astronautics to weather forecasting in 551.6354.
9.5 Works related to other works. The classifier should ordinarily
place with the original work translations, abridgments, criticisms, and reviews
of it, commentaries on it, indexes and concordances to it. However, works
about manuscripts and book rarities should be classed in 090, and works about
the art in a book with the appropriate art. Since an adaptation modifies the
original work in form, scope, presentation, and possibly language, it may or
may not be classed with it, depending upon the amount and kind of modification. It is normally the function of the book number to distinguish among
opments
of radio engineering, such as the circuitry
such related works.

10 Reduction. It has been noted that one of the valuable features of the
notation is its adaptability to both close and broad classification. How
close or how broad the classification of a specific library should be is a matter
of administrative determination. While bibliographies and classed catalogs
should generally be highly detailed, it is unlikely that any Hbrary, no matter
how large or specialized, will in its shelf classification follow the present edition
to its fullest expanded detail in every section. Most libraries using these schedules for shelving purposes will probably reduce their expansions in some or
many parts. The detail supplied herein is intended to be more rather than
DDC
than what most libraries will require, because it is relatively easy to cut
back, either from the schedules themselves or from the numbers recommended
by central classification services for specific titles, but it is not easy, or advisable,
to expand beyond what is officially provided. (See also section 13.34.) According

may be done by drawing a line through the numbers in the number column
to cut off^ the digits that are not to be used, or by canceling add notes. The
classifier should not try to record decisions of this nature in the index.

but they occur relatively infrequently.

11 Index. In order to make best utilization of the index, which will be
found in volume 3, the classifier should know what he may expect to find in
it, how it is organized, and how to use it. The index is highly structured but
will furnish much assistance to the classifier who understands it.
11.
Basic content. The index contains an entry for every significant
term named in the schedules and tables, with leads, sometimes through several
successive referrals, to many aspects that are named or implied by add notes.
this,
numbers are given for most subjects that have their own numbers in
the schedules and for many subjects whose numbers are obtained through
number building. However, it is not feasible to include in the index every
possible aspect even for those topics that are included, and still keep it within
a reasonable size. The index does not include all names of persons, cities,
organizations, minerals, plants, animals, chemical compounds, drugs, manufactured articles, and similar enumerations.
Class
The index
considered relative (and is traditionally

known as the "relative index") because of its inverse relationship to the schedules. Whereas in the schedules the different aspects of a subject are scattered
according to discipline, in the index they are brought together under the
name of the subject, with their various locations in the schedules indicated.
For example, if the classifier has a work on copper and looks under that term,

will find

is
aspects and subaspects, including arts, chemistry, materials,
Ixii
metallurgy, mining, and products, each leading to one or more specific precise
numbers in the schedules.
11.3 Cross references. In order to conserve space but still provide a
maximum amount of information, the index utilizes many cross references,
both direct and generalized.

Direct references are of two kinds, those that refer to a different term of
the same level, and those that refer up to a term on a broader level. Those
in the first category usually refer to a synonym or a variant spelling, e.g.,
Hansen's disease ^^^ Leprosy, Keramic ^^^ Ceramic, Underground s[ee] a[lsd[
Subterranean. Refer up references are supplied to help the classifier find the
proper location for specific topics that do not have their own numbers in
the schedules and to alert him to additional aspects which because of space
limitations cannot be repeated in the index under countless specific headings.
In
some
cases references continue
upward
in
two or more successive
steps.
This type of reference is possible in the index because of the hierarchical

principle on which the schedules are based, whatever is true of a whole being
true also of
its
parts.
Generalized (or scatter) references are used freely to lead to applications,

kinds, uses, occurrences of the topic.
Examples of cross references follow:

Under "Copper compounds plant nutrition" is a direct reference to see
"Trace elements plant nutrition." While the two terms are not synonymous,
there is no number uniquely assigned to copper compounds in this context,
and they, along with manganese, zinc, boron and certain other compounds,
are always classed in the numbers assigned to the broader concept Trace
elements. The classifier turning to "Trace elements plant nutrition" will find
two numbers in 581, one for plant physiology and the other for plant pathology,
to see also specific plants. This reference reflects the
cross reference in the schedules at 581 that instructs the classifier to class all
the general principles of botany (including plant nutrition) as they apply to
and a further reference
specific plants
and groups of plants
in the appropriate
numbers under 582-
589. See section 8.58. {''Sm. spec, plants" i^ a short way of saying "see also
specific plants and groups of plants.") Thus the classifier seeking in the index
numbers to use for copper compounds in plant nutrition has been given the
two numbers 581.213356 for pathology and 581.13356 for physiology of plants
and has been told that copper compounds in nutrition of any specific
plant or group of plants is to be classed with works on that plant or group
(many of which will be found in the index under their own names).
Often a subject has its own number(s) for one or more aspects, but in other
aspects shares a number or numbers with a broader concept (unlike the concept
Copper elements, which in all plant nutrition aspects shares the numbers
used for the broader concept Trace elements). In such a case, the specific

under the name of the subject. The other aspects

are covered by generaUzed references, which tell the classifier: for "'other
aspects see, "or for ''miscellaneous aspects ^^^"the term for the broader concept. Turning to the broader concept the classifier will usually find some numbers that he can ignore, because they are shorter and broader versions of
the same numbers he has already found under the narrow concept; but he
will also find new numbers.
For example, under Apples the classifier will find 634.1 1 for culture, 641.341

and 664.8, all of which are

repetitions at a broader level of numbers already found under Apples. He
will also find several new numbers, such as 634.987 for fruits as forest products,
636.0874 for fruits as animal feeds, and 641.41-.47 for domestic preservation
of fruits, all of which, of course, include apples. Under Rosaceae he will find
no repeated numbers, but several new ones, such as 583.372 for botany, and
the reference "other aspects see Plants." Under Plants he will find three numbers for art representation, one for conservation techniques, one for landscape
design, and several for literary treatment; all of these numbers may be used
for plants, for specific families of plants such as Rosaceae, and for specific

phenomena.
Another example that the classifier may wish to trace through the index is
Beavers, which will lead him to Sciuromorpha, thence to Rodentia, thence
to Animals. At all levels except Beavers new numbers are brought in for consideration, and at both Rodentia and Animals old numbers are also repeated at
shorter length on broader levels.
In many cases when only one aspect of a subject is entered in the index,
further to Natural
a generalized reference suggests the possibihty of other aspects, e.g., "Abbreviated longhand writing systems 653.2; see also specific applications e.g. Practical
pharmacy"; "Accelerometers aircraft engineering 629.1352; see also other speprinting
cific usesr But in the case of "Aladdin ovens cookery 641.588," the
of "cookery" on a separate line is expected to remind the classifier that other
aspects, such as manufacture, are possible, even though not mentioned.
Some of the numbers in the example under Apples are illustrative of synthesized, or built, numbers, e.g., 641.3411. Synthesized numbers are included
concepts that may be commonly sought. However, it

is not feasible to include in the index all of the possible specific numbers
that may be derived, especially in the case of subjects whose numbers may
be extended by the addition of notations for very many specific topics. There
will still be plenty of cases where the classifier must use the information at
hand to build the number himself. For example, under the index entry Ecoin the index for
many
nomics there appear Biblical treatment 220.833, curriculums 375.33, journalism 070.44933, libraries 026.33 (all of the 33s coming from the addition of
the basic number for economics 330), and the instruction for other aspects
to see Social sciences. Under the latter term are found most of the same numbers (ending in 3 instead of 33), and also library classification 025.463, museology 069.93, subject headings 025.493. To derive the number for library classification of economics, it is necessary to extend 025.46 by adding 33[0], the
number
economics.
In section 8.1 the classifier was advised that he should not class solely from
the index, because he might miss helpful guidance that appears only in the
schedules. One example of this may be seen when a schedule entry directly
indicated by an index entry incorporates a cross reference or a class elsewhere
note. For such a situation the index does not undertake to show the numbers
for the detached or related parts of the subject; it assumes that the classifier
will look in the schedules at the number named and there acquire further

necessary information. For example, the index entry for "Water transportation
commerce 387" does not point out that inland waterway and ferry transportation are in 386. This information is obtained by the classifier only when he
turns to 387 in the schedule.
the cross reference or class elsewhere note is not immediately

at the entry designated by the index, the additional information is given in
the index. For example, under "Matriculation schools 371.21" there is a reference "see also specific levels of education. " In the schedule, the fact that all

all the appropriate information. For example, under "Minor metals" the classifier will find consolidated numerous aspects applying to niobium, hafnium,

11.4 Coordination with schedules. It is obvious that the index entries,
"Minor metals"
because they are closely coordinated with each other and with the schedules,
must be used with care and thought; and further that it is not advisable to
use a number printed at the topic sought without first following up the pertinent cross references. It is equally not advisable to classify from the index
alone without referring to the schedule, which is the only place where, on
the various steps of the hierarchical ladder, may be found all the information
about coverage and correct use of the numbers. To quote Melvil Dewey, in

11.5 Arrangement and other general information. Except where
sense or syntax requires otherwise, nouns are entered in the index in plural

form.
If the subject that a classifier wants is not found in the index, he should
look for it under a synonym, under another word of the same root, under a
related term (for example, if what is wanted is not found under "heart," he
should try "cardi-"), or under a broader subject.
Unless relativity requires inversion, adjective + noun phrases are entered
in direct form only, e.g., Mechanical engineering, not Engineering mechanical.
However, if the classifier cannot find such a phrase under the adjective he
should look under the noun alone, e.g., not finding Anglican bishops or apple
he should look under Bishops and Pies respectively.

Index entries are arranged alphabetically word by word. Terms indented
below the main headings are alphabeted in one group even though they may
be a mixture of topical subheadings and words that, when combined with
the main heading, form phrases or inverted subjects. Indention in the index
has the same hierarchical force that it has in the schedules. Terms followed
by explanatory words in parentheses are alphabeted separately. Hyphenated
words are considered to be single words. Hyphens are often used to make
syntactical distinctions, e.g.. Grinding cereal grains, Grinding-tools, and the
classifier should check all such possibilities. Abbreviations are filed as if spelled
in full. A list of abbreviations used precedes the index. Initials such as UHF
and USSR are filed as if each letter were a separate word. Names beginning
with Mc and M' are arranged as if spelled Mac. Modified vowels, such as a,
o, u, are arranged as a, o, u.
Numbers preceded by a dash and a term in italics will be found in the
auxiliary tables. For example, numbers preceded by "^.^.-"are in Table 1
Standard Subdivisions, "area-'* reiers to Table 2 Areas, "lang.-" to Table 6
Languages. Numbers supplied by the tables are never used alone, but are
added as appropriate to numbers from the schedule. Numbers preceded by

include a book number along with each Dewey Decimal Classification number,
but this has not been considered feasible, because (1) diflFerent existing libraries
use different book numbering systems; (2) even newly established libraries,
which might be expected to find this service most useful, class and number
works not covered by printed cards, and in so doing may be expected, in a
given class, to preempt book numbers that would later appear on printed
cards for other titles in the same class.
To promote consistency and future efiBciency, the classifier should make a
local record of all decisions. Most libraries maintain a shelflist or similar record
which lists all works in classified order, thus showing the application of the
different class numbers to specific works. Decisions on specific problems may
be written at the pertinent point in the classification schedules or recorded
in the shelflist or kept in a separate file, or a combination of methods may
be employed.
13 Variations from recommended practice.
13.1 Principle of usefulness. Although an important feature of the
DDC is that its notation provides a universal language that can be understood
in all libraries and in all countries, nevertheless, in serving the special needs
of a library's clientele, a classifier may sometimes find it desirable to modify
specific printed provisions in ways other than reduction (for which see section
10). This is permissible if there is a real and permanent local need. By "real"
is meant that each variation should have a demonstrable reason that can be
recorded and defended. By "permanent" is meant that a specific need of a
temporary or short-term nature should not be met by adjustment of class
numbers. In any event variations should be adopted only with caution; see
section 13.4.
The
groups of three. This device is purely for ease in reading

and copying. The spaces are not part of the numbers, and the groups are
not related to those shown in DDC numbers on Library of Congress and
other centralized cataloging records, for which see section 10.2.
12 General suggestions. The classifier may be repaid by checking to determine whether one of the centralized classification services has already assigned
should record in the schedules every decision for variation.

As with reductions, he should not, however, try to record such decisions in
the index.
13.2 Officially recognized variations. A number of important variations appear in the printed schedules or are otherwise officially recognized.

have all of the literary works of an author classed together. Under each
language they may then arrange all of the works written in that language in
one alphabetical author sequence or in groups by chronological periods, regardless of the literary form of the works. The DDC recognizes this method of
arranging literary works by a note in Table 3 Subdivisions of Individual Literatures, under centered heading 1-8 Specific forms: "Class description, critical
appraisal, biography, collected works of an individual author with the form
with which he is chiefly identified; or, if preferred, class description, critical
appraisal, biography, single and collected works of all individual authors regardless of form in 8." (In the preferred arrangement, even when description,
criticism, collected works, etc. of an author are classed with the form with
which he is chiefly identified, single works should still be classed by form,
e.g., John Galsworthy as a whole, and his novels, in 823, but his plays in 822.)
Under 8 the classifier will find: "(It is optional to class here description,

930s, but, optionally, may be classed in 940-960 immediately preceding later

Dewey usually assigned
1-8 to those places, races, languages, cultures, religions that were most significant to American libraries of 1876, grouping others in 9. As a result, there
are places, races, languages, cultures, religions on which there is now a mass
of literature that have been assigned notations with long base numbers, e.g.,
Urdu language 491.439 (while English is 42), Hinduism, 294.5 (whUe Christianity is 23-28). Consequently, libraries serving Eastern and other cultures are
likely to find the bulk of their collections classed near the end of long sequences
and denoted by long numbers.

13.221 Artificial digits. As one means of correcting this situation, the
schedules and tables frequently suggest as an option that a letter or other
symbol be used as an artificial digit to bring into prominence and give a shorter
number to any desired linguistic, ethnic, or cultural approach. For example,
a note at 081-089 provides that general Urdu anthologies may be placed in
08U (or 08* or OSf), instead of 089.91439, and shelved before 081; a note at
292-299 provides that Hinduism may be placed in 2H0 (or 2*0 or 2+0), instead
of 294.5, and shelved before 220, or, as another option, 29H may be used

countries, of artists with art. On the other hand, most popular libraries prefer

subdivision 092 with each subject is the editors' recommended treatment of
biography, a note appears in Table 1 under 092, "If preferred, class biography

For example, in the United States, fiction published in English language, no

author tables (see section 5.121) may serve specific local purposes. It is most
useful when there are large numbers of specific coordinate subdivisions with
accepted names and when the full DDC numbers would be very long. Examples of numbers with many subtopics that the classifier may wish to consider

in 331.28, goods in 338.47. Care must always be exercised to avoid duplicate
listing of the same concept under difiêrent terms. For example, in lists of
occupations, works on welding should not appear under both "welding" and
"metalworking.
Sometimes the editors are asked why a particular subject should not have
an alphabetical rather than a classified geographical arrangement, e.g., U.S.
states arranged alphabetically instead of by the area notation. It is true that
Wyoming
the sequence Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California
is quite familiar and easy to understand. It is true also that under many subjects,
e.g., statistics, such an arrangement is entirely satisfactory. But under others,
e.g., fauna and flora, it is more satisfactory to find Virginia and West Virginia
side by side rather than separated by Washington state. A separate alphabetical
arrangement for cities, distinct from that for states, will bring close together
treatment of churches (or any other appropriate subject) in Springfield, Illinois,
and Springfield, Massachusetts, but only separate churches in the latter city
from those in Quincy, Newton, and Lynn, Massachusetts.
13.32 Omitting digits. Occasionally, in order to shorten a number, it is
possible to omit a digit from within the number. This may be done relatively
subject, in a single
main class 8 each literature has had its own period divisions, which are difi'erent
from those in the 16th and earlier editions, because those were based on
the period numbers in standard subdivisions 0901-0904. For example, the
numbers for period divisions of history and criticism of United States literature
are now 810.9001-.9005 rather than 810.903-.904 as in the 16th and earlier
editions. Any library that has not previously used 810.903-.904 may omit one
of the Os from 810.9001-.9005 and class periods of U.S. literature in 810.901.905. However, any such variations should be made with caution, because of
the possibility of changes in future editions.
13.33 Attraction. Because of special local interest or special collections of
books, it may on occasion appear desirable to bring together all works on a
given subject in only one of the several possible disciplines, e.g., all works
on Jews in 296, all works on automobiles in 629.2.
An extension of this practice is the complete reversal of
order. For
example, a library devoted to travel and area study, or to maps, might make
an administrative decision to arrange its collections entirely by place. To
achieve this arrangement it could use the "Areas" notations for the basic classes,
followed, when appropriate, by
and the
subject numbers. Then everything on Japan would be placed in class 52; religion in 5202, economic situation
in 52033, art in 5207. In such a system works not limited by area could be
placed in notation
followed by the regular
notation, e.g., economic
conditions of the whole world 033. Needless to say, this kind of use of
would be purely local, and would receive no support from central classification

expansion. Such a step is strongly discouraged. An institution needing an expansion should consult with the Decimal Classification Division of the Library
of Congress, which, if the need appears to be general, will undertake to prepare
it. In the meantime the broader classification should be made to serve until
the official expansion is available. A good expansion requires time for study,
research, interviewing, and correspondence, and necessitates a broad and dispassionate overall approach. The librarian who makes his own changes or
expansions should remember that, once a change is made, the library, because
of the expense of reclassifying, in all probability will be forced to abide by it
indefinitely, unable to make use of official expansions and improvements in
subsequent editions. This warning applies also to unauthorized number building, including successive division by more than one principle. It is best, if
local additions must be made and cannot await editorial action, that letters
or other artificial digits be used.

and may be eflFected by canceling the special instructions to use irregular notation under specific subjects.
13,36 Showing language in notation. Libraries wishing to establish separate collections for their works in different languages can do so by prefixing
to each class number appropriate numbers from the languages notation of
Table 6, e.g., (21)536.2 and (21)709.54 for works in English on heat transfer
and Indian art respectively, (9144)536.2 and (9144)709.54 for works in Bengali

possible to adopt variations
but they need not necessarily accept them. A classification scheme may be
used for two distinct purposes: (1) for storage and retrieval of precise and
detailed information, and (2) for arranging works on shelves in subject groupings. For the first purpose long numbers are inevitable. For the second, most
users feel that shorter numbers are adequate, and suggestions have been given
reducing numbers in section 10. Some few libraries shelve by numbers
of limited length, but on catalog and shelflist cards and inside each book give
a complete number based on the full DDC schedules, with the shelving digits
in black and the nonshelving digits in red. Another possible method for shortening numbers is the substitution of arbitrary signs for the basic part of heavily
used long numbers. For example, an engineering library can substitute letters
of the alphabet for some of the larger engineering subdisciplines with long

the standard schedules of classification." (Quoted in Schultheiss, Culbertson,
Heiliger, Advanced Data Processing in the University Library. New York,

and repair is virtually impossible in view of the traditional policy of integrity
of numbers, a policy which permits only the most sparing reuse of numbers
with new meanings (see section 14.23). To reapportion the notation so that
it would be equally hospitable to all disciplines and subjects represented in
libraries today would require the development of a wholly new system and
would only establish a base for other inequities in a future that today cannot
be imagined, just as much of the knowledge of the 1970s and '80s could not
be foreseen by Dewey in the 1870s. So long as the DDC continues to expand

assigned longer or shorter
Ideally, for
maximum utilization of the Classification, all such changes should
be adopted promptly, not only for materials currently received but also for
materials classed earlier. However, this is not usually practical, and the following compromises may be considered:
14.21 Expansions and reductions. Most libraries adopt each new expansion
that is expected to serve a special need, and assign the lengthened number
to works received after the date of adoption. Not often, however, do they
reclassify older materials into a more specific number. There is no great loss
in this omission, because the older works in the shorter number will remain
either adjacent to or near the new works in the longer number and will be
grouped with works on the broader subject of which their specific topics form
a part.
somewhat less likely to adopt a new reduction, though in cases

where there are no numbers intervening between the longer and shorter
numbers, there is little reason for not doing so. It should be kept in mind

of the benefits of centralized classification service and the courting of future

conflict. Failure to reclassify older materials means separation of works on a
given subject. However, local circumstances, such as an active weeding pro-
gram and the shelving of older material in closed stacks, may make this tolerable. Suggested methods of alleviating the inconveniences are to place cross
references in the shelflist and appropriate labels or wooden-block dummies
on the shelves. A Ust of relocations in this edition appears in this volume
following Tables 1-7.
Assignment of new topics to recently vacated numbers is held by the editors to an absolute minimum (except for phoenix schedules, for which see section 14.24), because such reuse is a potential source of
very great confusion. Unlike relocations, which may separate like materials,
reuse of numbers results in unlike materials sharing the same number. For
example, the 14th and earlier editions used 621.46 for animal motors and
treadmills, the 15th-17th editions did not use it at all, and the 18th and present

for Electric propulsion technology. In this edition there are
eleven reused numbers, exclusive of those in phoenix schedules; they are identified by italics, and they are listed in section 2.4. It is strongly recommended
that old material be removed from them and placed in appropriate new locations when each number is first used with its new meaning.
14.24 Phoenix schedules. Each recent edition has provided a completely
new development of the schedule for one or more disciplines for which the
older development was totally inadequate to meet the requirements of modern
literature: inorganic and organic chemistry in Edition 16, psychology in Edition
17, law and mathematics in Edition 18. In this edition there are phoenix developments for sociology, the political process, and British local administrative
units. For important topics in each of these fields there appears in volume
1, preceding the summaries, a list of changed numbers. The editors realize
that introduction into an existing book collection of the provisions of these
new schedules is difficult and expensive, but recommend nevertheless that
they be adopted. Failure to do so will mean continued use of schedules incapable of dealing with publications of the 1970s and '80s. In order to avoid chaos
in the collections, reclassification, with the aid of the lists of changed numbers,
of works previously classed according to the older schedules should proceed
as rapidly as possible.

for Tables 2-7 in sections 8.541 and 8.543-8.545.
Coordination and subordination of subjects are shown

Here for the convenience of classifiers wishing to survey the changes between the past and present editions are brought together in one list all the
relocations between Editions 18 and 19, and all schedule (and table) reductions
since Edition 18, except relocations and reductions in phoenix schedules.
In a relocation one or more topics are shifted to a new number differing
from the old in respects other than length. If the relocation is partial, the

one or more topics to a new number shorter than the old but otherwise not
differing from it. If all topics in a given number are thus shifted, the number

is "discontinued." These features are described and explained in
Introduction, sections 8.56 and 14.2.
In addition, several numbers have been dropped because their content in
Edition 18 was meaningless within the context.
The column headed Edition 18 indicates in numerical order each number
in that edition from which a topic or group of topics has been shifted; the
column headed Edition 19 indicates each corresponding number in the present
edition to which those topics or groups of topics have been shifted. If two
or more topics have been shifted from one number to two or more numbers,

Numbers in the Edition 75 column printed in square brackets are no longer
in use (or, if in use, have completely new meanings, and are therefore also
listed among the reused numbers in section 2.4 of the introduction): if followed
by an asterisk, they have been discontinued as a result of schedule reduction;
otherwise, they have lost their content as a result of total relocation.
Numbers in the Edition 18 column not printed in brackets have lost part
of their meaning through relocation or reduction, but still retain some of their
original meaning. An asterisk signifies loss through reduction, its lack a loss

As noted at their respective points in the schedules, the developments for

301-307 Sociology and 324 The political process, as well as many of those
for "Areas" notation 41-42 from Table 2 British Isles, are new, though mostly
built on the same base numbers as in the past. As is pointed out in section
14.24 of the Editor's Introduction, users will benefit from the adoption of
these new schedules. So that this task may be somewhat simplified, the following lists show the number changes from Edition 18 to Edition 19 for a substantial list of topics. Not included are topics that have been relocated to a diflFerent
schedule, e.g., educational sociology relocated from 301.56 to 370.19 and so
shown under both the old and the new numbers.
