About the Book
This book provides a practical and comprehensive introduction to the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) system, one of the most flexible and widely used library classification schemes for organizing scientific and technical literature. It explains the development of UDC by Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine, its relationship to the Dewey Decimal Classification, and its use of auxiliary tables and synthetic notation for detailed subject representation. Based on the latest English-language edition, the book offers clear guidance on number building, classification techniques, and the application of UDC in libraries. It serves as an essential resource for Library and Information Science students, teachers, and practicing librarians.
