Dewey Decimal System
The Dewey Decimal Classification, also known as the Dewey Decimal System, was developed in 1873 by Melvil Dewey.
The system is widely used in libraries as a shorthand classification tool for resources, dividing knowledge into
ten categories with each category containing 100 numbers. These general numbers can be further narrowed using decimals.
Here are four of ten categories of the
Dewey Decimal System: General Works (000),
Philosophy/Psychology (100),
Religion (200),
and Social Sciences (300).
The next three categories of the Dewey Decimal System: Languages (400), Natural Science (500) and Applied Science/Technology (600).
The final three categories of the Dewey Decimal System include Arts/Recreation (700), Literature (800), and History/Geography (900).
