DDC-DACHS exhibition

To commemorate the completion of the first German-language edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system in 2005, the Vienna University Library prepared a touring exhibition focusing on Melvil Dewey and DDC with the title “DDC-DACHS – Dewey Decimal Classification and the German-Speaking Countries”. The purpose of the exhibition was to draw the attention of both expert audiences and the general public in the German-speaking countries to the “Dewey dot” for the first time. From 2005 to 2008, the exhibition was shown at 12 locations in Austria and Germany. (Link to the exhibition website)
