Abstract

This paper describes the features of Electronic Dewey bringing out the ways in which it differs from the printed version of the Classification. The various search techniques available are discussed and the use of the DDC functions is considered. The paper concludes that while improvements could be made the CD-ROM heralds the electronic age of classification.
