Today, we have gone through the cataloging for what we did on last week about DDC.
After, Mr. Abdul Razak give comment and I have to do some correction on what mistakes I had did.
During my friends presentation, suddenly blackout at our faculty at my friends had to stop present
on what he did last week.
Luckily, the lesson still able to carry on because the LCD projector still functioning (got electric source) . Therefore, Mr Abdul Razak continue with his lesson on DDC number building.
DDC number building is necessary to build or synthesize a number that is not specifically listed in the schedules. There are 4 sources of notation for building numbers:
(a) Table 1 - Standard Subdivision
(b) Table 2 - 6
(c) other parts of the schedules; and
(d) add tables in the schedules.
Number building begins with a base number (always stated in the instruction note) to which another number is added. Table 1: Standard subdivisions. Nearly all call numbers ending with 05 are periodicals , eg: 900 (905), 920 (920.5) and 921 (921.05).
