Dewey Decimal Classification System
By Georgia and Ashleigh
What is the Dewey Decimal Classification System?
The Dewey Decimal Classification System or DDCS was created by Melvil Dewey to help librarians sort out their libraries to make it easier for the public to find the book they desire. Melvil couldn't stand having an untidy library so he decided to invent the DDCS to help him sort out the books into sections eg. 000- generalities,100-philosophy and psychology, 200-religion, 300-social science and so on.
