WEEK 10: DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION (DDC) AND LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CLASSIFICATION

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WBR...


This week, En. Abdul Razak has read our task on the differences between the DDC and LCC.

The following is a discussion of the results we have obtained:

DDC:
1. Use for School library, Public Library and the National Library
2. Use only number for call number.
3. Divide into 10 divisions and 10 subdivision of knowledges.
4. Easy to enter data in the computer system.
5. Contains simple user

LCC:
1. Use for Academic libray and University library.
2. Use of number and alphabet.
3. Divide into 21 divisions by alphabet.
4. Quite hard to enter data in the computer system.
5. Contains a complex user

After that, we headed to the Faculty Resource Center to find the classification numbers for the thesis.

The following are the results:

Reflection:

After successfully finding the classification number, I agree with Mr. Abdul Razak, claiming that the call numbers selected must be based on need. We must give them the convenience of users to easily find the desired material.
