This book presents a clear and practical introduction to one of the most widely used library classification systems in the world—the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). It explains how the DDC system organizes knowledge into ten broad categories and further divides them into detailed topics to make searching for books easier and faster. The book highlights how the system has evolved over time to meet the needs of modern libraries and diverse readers. It also explores how culture, religion, and knowledge domains influence classification, and how librarians can use DDC thoughtfully while managing vast collections. Readers will gain insight into how the DDC system helps build national bibliographies and supports the structure of libraries across the globe. Library Science: Dewey Decimal Classification is highly useful for students of library and information science, librarians, and cataloguing professionals. It is a valuable tool for understanding library organization, especially for those preparing for competitive exams or working in public, academic, or school libraries.
