Who invented the Dewey Decimal Classification?
Dewey Duck Melvil Dewey
What is a call number?
•Every book in the library is given a unique call
number to serve as an address for locating the book on
the shelf. The call number itself is composed of two
parts--Dewey Decimal Classification and the Cutter
number or book number.
•
•Dewey Decimal Classification
•The dewey decimal system coordinates materials on
the same subject and on related subjects to make items
easier to find on the shelves by using a combination of
letters and numbers.
• The Dewey system has ten main classes
REMEMBER: The more numbers, the more
specific. REMEMBER: When filing in a decimal system,
file digit by digit--not by whole number.
Look at this example:
•331
•331.01
•331.011
•331.016
•331.02
•331.026
•331.041
•331.04136

Editor's Notes

  1. American librarian Melvil Dewey, born Melville Louis Kossuth Dewey, in Adams Center, N.Y., on Dec. 10, 1851, d. Dec. 26, 1931, is best known as the inventor of what came to be called the Dewey Decimal System of Classification, which is used in most local and school libraries to catalogue books. Devised in 1876 as a system for small libraries, it has the advantage of a limited number of general categories and short call-numbers. The system is based on ten classes of subject (000-999), which are then further subdivided. Dewey also promoted the use of the metric system, helped found the American Library Association in 1876, and edited Library Journal (1876-81) and Library Notes (1886-98). When Dewey created Columbia University's School of Library Economy in 1887, he began the field of library science in the United States.
