“Dewing the Dew” : Best Practices in the LC Dewey Section p.21
Best Practices
Training? Start with 900s for number building Use another discipline to practice analyzing
What is being affected? Search for similar titles but check the schedules Use LCSH/Dewey correlation searching in
ClassificationWeb but check the schedules Use the WebDewey number building assistant Class like items at the same time when possible Can’t figure it out??
Assign DDC to each chapter Is there a theme? Majority rules? Consult the experts, e.g. subject experts, editors, [email protected]

“Dewing the Dew” : Best Practices in the LC Dewey Section p.23
Classic Dewey: Zeros, Wholes, Ts, and ToPs
Zeros When and how to use 0 or 00, etc. When to drop the 0
Does it “approximate the whole”? Standard subdivisions
T1 has relationships to basic schedules, e.g. T1—0285 related to build for 004.028 in 004-006 Computer science; computer programming, programs, data; special computer methods
Check the table of preference Schedules and tables ToP not always obvious in WebDewey Read up the schedule to the broader topic Might be in manual notes, e.g. T3A-T3C T1 has a ToP, too!

Common Questions
Classifying religious topics? About one or more than 2 religions or religions in general?—First-of-two rule Not Christianity? Find out where the general topic classes before building in the
290s
History or ??? Read the manual If sociological, could class in 300s, even about a place
Biography? Read the manual Political figure with multiple political positions? Not in 352.23 Chief executives

Think about the work involved in maintaining the newly organized collection Document the classification Update the classification Correct the classification
Materials will never arrive Shelf Ready
Classification will never be assigned by anyone else except YOU
Any ILS based collection evaluation tool might only work successfully with Dewey

“Spend a little more time developing list before plunging into reclassifying”
Label books outside AND inside
All departments have to be trained in finding materials in the re-organized space
Signage is the best promotion
