WebDewey
We have subscribed to WebDewey in order to eliminate the need for multiple paper copy sets of the Dewey 22 manuals
Each cataloguer/library technician will receive their own login and password

Search vs. Browse
Searching is useful when you have a very specific term that is unlikely to bring up multiple results
For example, specific countries are located quickly using the Search feature
In the Search screen, you can enter your search term in the “Search for” box and click on “Search”
![Page 5: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Search Screen

Search Results
![Page 7: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Search Example
From the search on the previous screen, we can see that by entering the search term “Canada”, we receive only one hit, T2—71
For more general searches, using the Browse function may serve more useful
![Page 8: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Browse
Browsing is more useful for general search terms as it brings more “hits” and allows you to browse for the best possible match
From the Browse main screen, you can choose from Dewey Numbers, Relative Index, and LCSH (plus 2 others not used in HDSB)
![Page 9: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Browse Screen
![Page 10: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Browse by Dewey Number
This feature is useful when you have a Dewey number you aren’t sure about
Also useful for finding broader or narrower Dewey numbers
Allows you to see if the number you have chosen is the “best fit”
![Page 11: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Browse Dewey Results
![Page 12: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dewey Results
From the previous example, typing in the number 685.4 brings us the result “Gloves and mittens”
We can see a narrower term is 685.4092, “Glove makers”
By clicking “Previous page” we can see a broader term is 685, “Leather and fur goods, and related products”

Dewey Results
Clicking on the desired Dewey number brings up a summary page listing related terms, authorized LCSH, relative index terms, and any applicable notes
![Page 15: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Browse Relative Index
Browsing the relative index is identical to searching the back index of the DDC Manuals (only faster!)
Click on the Relative Index button on the Browse screen and enter your term
![Page 17: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Relative Index Results
![Page 18: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Relative Index
A search for “Glaciers” brings back multiple hits which you can scan to determine the best match for the item you are cataloguing
Each “hit” also provides a corresponding Dewey number for you to choose from
Clicking on each Dewey number brings up the same summary page from the Dewey search
![Page 19: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Relative Index Results, Cont’d

Browse LCSH
Finally, the LCSH browse functions almost identically to the Relative Index search
A search for “Winter” brings back all related LCSH terms beginning with “Winter” and terms alphabetically nearby
![Page 21: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Browse LCSH Results
![Page 22: Introduction to WebDewey](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052321/5491b137b479593a058b472d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Browse LCSH Results, Cont’d
Clicking on any of the Dewey numbers connected to the LCSH’s will bring you back to the same summary screen in the previous two examples
