1993 – Electronic Dewey
Unveiled at Midwinter 1993 DDC 20 MS DOS CD-ROM product Keyboard commands Screen displays very different from print Dewey Limited local notes capability Hard to “window” in a DOS environment Hard to update More of a cataloging curiosity than a cataloging tool

1996 – Dewey for Windows
DDC 21 Windows CD-ROM product Mouse friendly – select windows, scroll, drag
& drop, expand/minimize windows Screen displays include “Show Page” view Local notes capability All documentation online Hard to update Becoming a cataloging tool

Wish List from 2001

minutes Local notes, local notes, local notes! More built numbers Links back to older editions, especially when
numbers are discontinued

For 2006– I Challenge Dewey to… Provide more frequent updating (monthly, weekly, daily, hourly?) Incorporate the Dewey Blog
Provide a link to the Dewey Blog on opening screen Link numbers in Blog discussions to WebDewey
Integrate local notes with schedules & tables Link back to older editions for discontinued numbers (I don’t like
the Excel spreadsheet) Provide links to Relative Index terms Allow more user feedback:
Contributions of built numbers Tagging/Folksonomies for Relative Index term suggestions Direct line to EPC members
Add Dewey class numbers to LCSH authority records
