Abstract

This article explores ways that notation in Table 5 Ethnic and National Groups of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system can be used to extend subject access to works about racially mixed people beyond that provided by the rules for constructing standard DDC numbers. The proposed approach makes use of the new 083 field (Additional Dewey Decimal Classification Number) in the MARC Bibliographic Format and techniques developed for DeweyBrowser beta v2.0 by OCLC Research, especially tag clouds.

According to the Dewey decimal system, each book is assigned a number based on its subject matter, and as the number of books increased, so did the length of the numbers, requiring the addition of the decimal point and tenths and hundredths. The library media specialist tried to simplify the naming of Dewey's categories for the kid crowd of 2005 as most elementary students have no clue what the terms "social sciences" and "generalities" mean, much less "philology," which was used by Dewey for the 400s.
