The Dewey Decimal Classification system is a proprietary library classification system developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876. It uses Arabic numerals and a relative indexing system to organize books on library shelves by subject. It has grown from Dewey's original four-page pamphlet through 23 major editions and is now used in over 200,000 libraries worldwide. While other classification systems existed, Dewey Decimal became the standard for general libraries due to its ease of use and ability to accommodate new materials. It continues to be updated and maintained today in both print and electronic formats.
A comparative analysis of library classification systemsAli Hassan Maken
We use classification each & every moment of the life by intentionally or unintentionally. Classification has always been the backbone of all Library operations and without it, library is definitely going to suffer in its recourse and to find a particular piece of information from unorganized heap of knowledge is almost impossible. The library classification is core instrument for organizing and retrieval of the documents stored in a library. At present era they are the navigation tools for locating and retrieving documents in more precisely and relevantly. The electronic versions of the DDC and UDC and other classification schemes make it possible to realize the potential of library classification to improve subject retrieval.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. WHAT IS IT ?
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal System, is a
proprietary library classification system first published in the United States
by Melvil Dewey in 1876. It has been revised and expanded through 23
major editions, the latest issued in 2011, and has grown from a four-page
pamphlet in 1876. It is also available in an abridged version suitable for
smaller libraries. It is currently maintained by the Online Computer Library
Center (OCLC), a non-profit cooperative that serves libraries. OCLC
licenses access to an online version for catalogers called WebDewey.
The Decimal Classification introduced the concepts of relative location
and relative index which allow new books to be added to a library in their
appropriate location based on subject. Libraries previously had given
books permanent shelf locations that were related to the order of
acquisition rather than topic. The classification's notation makes use of
three-digit Arabic numerals for main classes, with fractional decimals
allowing expansion for further detail. Using Arabic numerals for symbols, it
is flexible to the degree that numbers can be expanded in linear fashion to
cover special aspects of general subjects. A library assigns a classification
number that unambiguously locates a particular volume in a position
relative to other books in the library, on the basis of its subject. The number
makes it possible to find any book and to return it to its proper place on the
library shelves. The classification system is used in 200,000 libraries in at
least 135 countries.
The major competing classification system to the Dewey Decimal system
is the Library of Congress Classification system created by the U.S. Library
of Congress.
3. HISTORY
Melvil Dewey (1851–1931) was an American librarian and self-declared reformer.
He was a founding member of the American Library Association and can be
credited with the promotion of card systems in libraries and business. He
developed the ideas for his library classification system in 1873 while working at
Amherst College library. He applied the classification to the books in that library,
until in 1876 he had a first version of the classification. In 1876, he published the
classification in pamphlet form with the title A Classification and Subject Index for
Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library. He used the
pamphlet, published in more than one version during the year, to solicit comments
from other librarians. It is not known who received copies or how many commented
as only one copy with comments has survived, that of Ernest Cushing Richardson.
His classification system was mentioned in an article in the first issue of the Library
Journal and in an article by Dewey in the Department of Education publication
"Public Libraries in America" in 1876. In March 1876, he applied for, and received
copyright on the first edition of the index. The edition was 44 pages in length, with
2,000 index entries, and was printed in 200 copies.

4. 1885–1942: PERIOD OF
ADOPTION
The second edition of the Dewey Decimal system, published in 1885 with the title
Decimal Classification and Relativ Index for arranging, cataloging, and indexing
public and private libraries and for pamflets, clippings, notes, scrap books, index
rerums, etc., comprised 314 pages, with 10,000 index entries. 500 copies were
produced. Editions 3–14, published between 1888 and 1942, used a variant of this
same title. Dewey modified and expanded his system considerably for the second
edition. In an introduction to that edition Dewey states that "nearly 100 persons
have contributed criticisms and suggestions".
One of the innovations of the Dewey Decimal system was that of positioning books
on the shelves in relation to other books on similar topics. When the system was
first introduced, most libraries in the US used fixed positioning: each book was
assigned a permanent shelf position based on the book's height and date of
acquisition. Library stacks were generally closed to all but the most privileged
patrons, so shelf browsing was not considered of importance. The use of the
Dewey Decimal system increased during the early 20th century as librarians were
convinced of the advantages of relative positioning and of open shelf access for
patrons
5. New editions were read as supplies of previously published editions were exhausted,
even though some editions provided little change from the previous, as they were
primarily needed to fulfill demand. In the next decade, three editions followed closely
on: the 3rd (1888), 4th (1891), and 5th (1894). Editions 6 through 11 were published
from 1899 to 1922. The 6th edition was published in a record 7,600 copies, although
subsequent editions were much lower. During this time, the size of the volume grew,
and edition 12 swelled to 1243 pages, an increase of 25% over the previous edition.
In response to the needs of smaller libraries who were finding the expanded
classification schedules difficult to use, in 1894, the first abridged edition of the Dewey
Decimal system was produced.The abridged edition generally parallels the full
edition, and has been developed for most full editions since that date. By popular
request, in 1930, the Library of Congress began to print Dewey Classification numbers
on nearly all of its cards, thus making the system immediately available to all libraries
making use of the Library of Congress card sets.
Dewey's was not the only library classification available, although it was the most
complete. Charles Ammi Cutter published the Expansive Classification in 1882, with
initial encouragement from Melvil Dewey. Cutter's system was not adopted by many
libraries, with one major exception: it was used as the basis for the Library of Congress
Classification system.
6. 1942–PRESENT: FORGING AN
IDENTITY
The growth of the classification to date had led to significant criticism from medium
and large libraries which were too large to use the abridged edition but found the
full classification overwhelming. Dewey had intended issuing the classification in
three editions: the library edition, which would be the fullest edition; the
bibliographic edition, in English and French, which was to be used for the
organization of bibliographies rather than of books on the shelf; and the abridged
edition. In 1933, the bibliographic edition became the Universal Decimal
Classification, which left the library and abridged versions as the formal Dewey
Decimal Classification editions. The 15th edition, edited by Milton Ferguson,
implemented the growing concept of the "standard edition", designed for the
majority of general libraries but not attempting to satisfy the needs of the very
largest or of special libraries. It also reduced the size of the Dewey system by over
half, from 1,900 to 700 pages, a revision so radical that Ferguson was removed
from the editorship for the next edition. The 16th and 17th editions, under the
editorship of the Library of Congress, grew again to two volumes. However, by now,
the Dewey Decimal system had established itself as a classification for general
libraries, with the Library of Congress Classification having gained acceptance for
large research libraries.
The first electronic version of "Dewey" was created in 1993. Hard-copy editions
continue to be issued at intervals; the online WebDewey and Abridged WebDewey
are updated quarterly.
