1 EXPANSION OF THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION FOR THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. The following expansion of the Dewey Classification has been prepared to meet the needs of the Universit of Washington Library in classifying its books and pamphlets upon the history of the Pacific Northwest. At the request of neighboring librarians, its publication is permitted with the thought that it may prove helpful. It is not expected that its field of usefulness will extend outside of the region of Old Oregon. The University of vvashington Library employs the Dewey Decimal Classification, a system now in general use in the Northwest. as,vell as elsewhere throughout the United States and abroad. One of the most admirable features of this wellknown system is its expansiveness by use of further decimals, permitting subdivision and growth. It has thus been possible, without the change of any numbers now in use, to add such extensions to the Dewey numbers as provide for the special topics and regions of the Pacific ~orthwest. Hoping to make clear the scope and purpose of this classification, a few words of explanation are offered: 1. This is an expansion only; not an entire system. It is not to be used independently, but strictly as a supplement to Dewey. \ivhile no Dewey numbers are used with changed meanings, it should be noted that the Dewey 979.5, Oregon, is taken to mean Oregon in its early significance, covering' the entire region between the parallels of 42 degrees and 54 degrees, 40 minutes, north latitude, and extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It thus becomes the number for general Pacific Northwest History, and the State of Oregon is limited to In subdividing, the attempt has been made to follow as closely as possible the spirit of the Dewey system. County subdivisions have been worked out for the States of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, and the general scheme of grouping by counties has been followed. \ivhere possible, unassigned places are provided for future division of large counties into smaller ones. 3. In providing for special topics, only the broadest and most obviously necessary subjects have been given numbers. (146)

2 Expansion of the Dewey Decimal System 147 For the ordinary library, a too minute classification is to be discouraged. Broader heads give fewer alphabets through which a patron must look for a given book upon the shelf. A careful use of book numbers tends to tiring together nearly related books, and thus answers many of the purposes of c1assifica:ion. For those who wish, ho\vever, to classify more closely, further subdivision can be made. 4. l\iany books of interest in connection with the history of the Northwest are most serviceable when classified with the subject to which they chiefly contribute. No provision is here made for such books, it being e 'pected that the Dewey system will be followed without change and that the library catalog will bring the history student's attention to such resources. When for any reason such books are attracted to a Northwest History collection, they are to be given the General Northwest History number, 979.5, unless other provision has been made. 5. In the University of \Vashington Library, description and travel are placed with the hi'story of the Pacific :t'\orthwest. Libraries wishing to separate travel from history have only to follow the Dewey plan of inserting I after the initial 9, at the same time removing the decimal point one place to the left. Explanation of this plan is given in Dewey's Decimal Classification in a note opposite Special topics and special regions have been assigned for the State of \ivashingtol1. For special topics and localities of other States, unassigned numbers are provided. In libraries making a specialty of their own State history, these numbers can be used according to their own peculiar needs. Knowledge of local affairs and of the literature to be classified will determine what is needed. It is not expected that any library will care to use such special topics for States other than its own. CHARLES Vi. SMITH.
