5.0 OBJECTIVES
in this Unit we introduce you to the Tables and Schedules of Dewey Decimal Classification
(DDO), 19th Edition. You have to use the Tables very frequently along with the Schedules for
building a Class Number.
After reading this Unit, you will be able to:
© understand the nature and utility of the seven (auxiliary) tables;
© apply these tables for synthesis or the:number-building proce
© understand the main classes and their divisions and sub-divisions represented in the
schedules; 7
© apply the instructions and guidelines provided at various points in the schedules; and
© build class numbers for titles falling under various branches of main classes using notation
from tables and schedules.
5.1. INTRODUCTION
You have been already introduced to the structure, festures and characteristics of DDC (19th
Edition) in Block 1, Units 1-4. This Unit familiarises you with the Seven Auxiliary Tables,Dewey Decimal Classification
(19th Eaton) Part 2
viz, Tl Standard Subdivisions, T2 Areas, T3 Subdivisions of Individual Literatures, T4
Subdivisions of Individual Languages, TS Racial, Ethnic, National Groups, T6 Languages and
‘TT Persons. This Unit also brings to your attention important aspects and summary of schedules
representing important divisions of the universe of subjects (000-999) and their use in synthesis
or the number-building process.
5.2 TABLES
‘A table has been defined as “a sequence of dependant notation indicating various special
concepts used repeatedly with a variety of subjects and disciplines”. There are seven auxiliary
tables listed in this section, which support the schedules.. The use of these seven tables in the
number building process is presented in the following subsections with suitable worked out
examples.
5.2.1 Table 1: Standard Subdivisions
‘Table 1 is very frequently used in DDC. ‘The dash or fiyphen (-) preceding each number never
stands alone. ‘The hyphen (-) is omitted when you add a specific number from Table I to the
base number from the Schedules,

5.2.2 Table 2: Areas
‘Table 2 is also one of the important and frequently used tables in DDC for synthesising a class
‘number. Table 2 includes areas, regions, places in general (-1), which include physiographical
features, population clusters, political and economic groups. It also includes persons in general
(2), ancient world (-3) and modetn world (-4 and -9). In DDC 18th Edition (1971), “Divide
like” instruction was replaced by “Add to” from Schedules spans and “Add from” Tables. You
will find in DDC-19th Edition “Add to” instruction at several places in the Tables and Schedules
for the use of area subdivisions from Table 2 to the base-number.
Take for example
327.3 -.9 = Foreign policies and foreign relations between specific nations
‘Add “Areas” notation 3-9 from Table 2 to base number 327, ¢.g., Foreign Policy of United
Kingdom 327.41 (Table 2).

used as required with the base number for individual literature identified by * under 810 890

‘Tables (1-7) and the number-building process with suitable worked out examples. In the
following sections and sub-sections you will be introduced to Schedules, i., the main
and their divisions. The worked out examples under each Main Class will give an idea as to
the nature of the titles and the need for following “Add to” instructions to be found at various
points in the Schedules to build appropriate Class Numbers.
5.3.1 Generalities 000
‘The schedule of this Main Class not only deals with general aspects of knowledge but also
some specific disciplines/subject fields such as Bibliography 010, Library and Information
