DDC는 1876년 멜빌 듀이에 의해 초판이 발행된 이후 21판의 개정판이 출판될 예정이며, 현재 전세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 세계적인 분류표이다. 이러한 DDC는 이제 인쇄본 형태뿐만이 아니라 기계가독형 형태인 CD-ROM으로까지 생산되기에 이르렀다. 본고에서는 DDC 최초의 기계가독형 형태인 Electronic Dewey Decimal Classification(EDDC)에 대해 살펴보고, 이를 실제로 사용해 본 학생들을 대상으로 조사한 설문지 결과를 중심으로 EDDC의 이용 가능성과 그에 필요한 여건에 관해 논하였다.

According to Wayne A. Wiegand in the 1998, he research to The "Amherst Method": The Origins of the Dewey Decimal Classification Scheme. Although a debate about the origins of the Dewey Decimal Classification Scheme has been going on for generations, historical consensus remains elusive. This paper contributes information to the historiography on the origins of the scheme: 1) by grounding an account of Dewey's thinking as he was crafting the DDC on an analysis of a large body of sources than previous classification historians have consulted; and 2) by expanding and deepening historical understanding of the contextual forces influencing on the classification structure. Because the DDC idea as it first occurred to M. Dewey in Amherst in 1872-73 is an important in the history of library development in the world. He outlined the first draft of his decimal scheme and submitted it to the Amherst College Library Committee on 8 May 1873. This paper analysis to "Three Genetic Paper", that is 1) The Merits of the System, 2) Library Classification System, 3) Its Special Adaption to our Library.

Melvil Dewey has been evaluated as a person of library movement, a man of thought, and a pioneer. However, the life-long achievements as a teacher has not been considered in the domain of library science. The foundations of Dewey's thought of public library can be divided into two categories: school education and home education. Based on these two types of education, Dewey established the major role of public libraries in supporting the life-long education of the public. Regardless of the great achievement of Dewey in education, few research has been conducted. The purpose of this research is to consider the role of libraries from the perspective of life-long education based on the thought of Dewey.
