I’m not familiar with DDC but would like to incorporate it into my literature searches. How can I do this?

There are two easy ways to find publications at the German National Library that have been catalogued using DDC:

• WebDewey Search: The DDC numbers, which are arranged hierarchically using the decimal system, can be browsed intuitively with no prior knowledge of DDC. You can browse both general and highly specific subjects. Once your search has returned results, you can open them directly in the German National Library’s catalogue and refine your search even further if necessary. Tip: select several library catalogues; this will make your searches more successful!
  Note: You can find WebDewey Search in our catalogue by following the link “Browse (DDC)”.
• Advanced search in the catalogue of the German National Library : If you are already somewhat familiar with DDC, select “DDC number” in the drop-down list and enter a DDC number. You can also combine your search with other search filters.
