5.0 out of 5 stars The Dewey you can have when you can't affort the whole Dewey, May 17, 2000

By	DA Direct (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abridged Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index (Hardcover)

This version of the Dewey Decimal Classification fits on your desk and in your budget. Abridged Edition 13 offers the up-to-date features of DDC 21 at a price small libraries can afford. Here's what you get in a single volume: * Major revisions of 350-354 public administration, 370 Education, 570 Life Sciences, 580 Plants, and 590 Animals * New table numbers for countries of the former Soviet Union * Updated terminology and new topics including virtual reality, Internet, rap music and in-line skating * Over 40 pages of additional index terms * Numbering compatible with DDC 21, so libraries can expand easily from the abridged to the full edition.
