I am pleased to inform you that OCLC are now accepting pre-orders for the new edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification, DDC 23. Pre-orders are scheduled for delivery to Europe, the Middle East and Africa in July 2011.
Orders placed by July 1, 2011 will receive a 10% discount on DDC 23.
The DDC print edition is published approximately every seven years. The new edition includes several major changes:
• Many new topics and significant updates to selected fields
• Numbers informed by interaction with the worldwide community of Dewey users
• A complete overhaul to the representation of groups of people
• Revisions to several standard subdivisions
• Elimination of dual headings and unbalanced spans
As a result, DDC 23:
• Better reflects the changing world
• More accurately reflects regional differences around the world
• Greatly increases classifier efficiency
• Is more intuitive for the way classifiers work
