As a Library Assistant studying for my Library Technician degree this set of books became my best friend. While most colleges or universities will have copies for loan, I found that I oftened added things to the book, thus the importance of having your own copy.

The first volume covers the rules for using and assigning DDC numbers.

The second and third volumes contain the schedules / summaries for actually assigning the DDC number.

The fourth contains the Relative Index (a Library Tech's best friend), which assists in locating appropriate numbers.


I know its a lot of money, but it is well worth it if you are serious about working in this field.

I have always wanted a copy of DDC 22. Well when DDC 23 came out....DDC22 was now the "old" edition and I could get it for a good price. This is a 4 volume set of books used to do cataloging in public libraries and other libraries that use the Dewey Decimal classification system. I received it on time and it was in very good condition. Price of $49.00 was great for 4 books. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

ddc is a very useful classification scheme.about 98%libraries through out the world uses this scheme.so i recommended this scheme for all kind of libraries.
