December 10th is Dewey Decimal System
December 10th is Dewey Decimal System Day. This date was created to recognize the contribution of American librarian Melvil Dewey, who developed the decimal classification system that bears his name in 1876. This system revolutionized the organization of libraries, allowing for more efficient categorization of books and other materials. The Dewey Decimal System (DDS) uses a combination of numbers and decimals to classify works in different areas of knowledge, making it easier to locate and access information. The method is widely used in libraries around the world.
