I tried to read it cover-to-cover, but I kept falling asleep. :-)
A must for students.

As a Library Assistant studying for my Library Technician degree this set of books became my best friend. While most colleges or universities will have copies for loan, I found that I oftened added things to the book, thus the importance of having your own copy. The first volume covers the rules for using and assigning DDC numbers. The second and third volumes contain the schedules / summaries for actually assigning the DDC number. The fourth contains the Relative Index (a Library Tech's best friend), which assists in locating appropriate numbers. I know its a lot of money, but it is well worth it if you are serious about working in this field.

This version of the Dewey Decimal Classification fits on your desk and in your budget. Abridged Edition 13 offers the up-to-date features of DDC 21 at a price small libraries can afford. Here's what you get in a single volume: * Major revisions of 350-354 public administration, 370 Education, 570 Life Sciences, 580 Plants, and 590 Animals * New table numbers for countries of the former Soviet Union * Updated terminology and new topics including virtual reality, Internet, rap music and in-line skating * Over 40 pages of additional index terms * Numbering compatible with DDC 21, so libraries can expand easily from the abridged to the full edition.
