Manual: Key Changes Notes transferred to tables and schedules Basic instructions moved to Introduction Converted LC practices to standard policy Moved background information to Dewey
Decimal Classification: Principles and Application
Added notes for new topics, e.g., Computer art Remaining Manual notes rewritten in
consistent style
Manual: Sample NoteT1—074 vs. T1 — 029
Museums, collections, exhibits vs. Commercial miscellany
Use —074 for catalogs whose primary purpose is to promote knowledge or art, such as catalogs of collections; use —029 for catalogs whose primary purpose is to promote sale or distribution of products. Use —074 for catalogs of replicas, duplicates, and minor items when offered for sale in museum- or exhibit-like settings by noncommercial institutions. Also use —074 for auction catalogs (e.g., in art), and for catalogs of temporary exhibits of groups of artists, even if a succession of such exhibits provides most of the artists with their primary source of income. If in doubt, prefer
—074.
