This book covers the skills necessary for a classifier using Dewey Decimal Classification in a library or other information agency, whether at a professional or a paraprofessional level. It is equally suitable for use by librarianship students in universities and colleges, and others who are studying classification by themselves, either with a specific goal or as part of their continuing professional development. Since most collections are organized according to a library classification scheme, and Dewey Decimal Classification is widely used, especially in public and school libraries, it is important for all library students and most library staff to be familiar with at least the basics. Truly a "hands-on" guide, Learn Dewey Decimal Classification contains useful exercises to practice new skills and quizzes to test understanding. There are answers for self-checking at the back of the book.
