Dewey for Windows는 1997년 여론에 나온 듀이십진분류표 제 21판의 전자본이다. 1994년에 Electronic Dewey Decimal Classification이 최초의 전자 분류표로 등장한 후, 보다 나아진 이용자 인터훼이스와 다양한 접근방법을 사용할 수 있는 전자 듀이십진분류표로 개발되었다. 본고에서는 새로 나온 전자분류표의 기능을 살펴보고 최초의 전자분류표와 비교한 후, 개선점을 제시하였으며 한국의 전자십진분류표 개발을 제안하였다.

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.

This study reports the results of an exploratory investigation into building number technique applied by a sample of novice students using Electronic Dewey(ED). For control purposes, a second sample used the same classification schedule but in print format. In this experiment, the DDC 20 in print had a higher success rate than ED. While the searches in ED took shorter time than DDC in print, students using DDC 20 in print were able to build more correct numbers than ED. Novice users did not take full advantage of system features of ED. Therefore, it is important to note the overall difficulty with which users could build numbers from the ED after little training. However, it is interesting to note that the students in the CD-ROM group were more interested in building numbers than their colleagues in the Print group. The correlation between the grade of English course and the score in experiment was negative in Print group. And the correlation between GPA and the score in experiment was a little positive. The correlation between the time and the score in experiment was quitenegative.

There have been several milestones in the history of library classification but most of the schemes failed to meet the new challenges in the organisation of information. Dr. S. R. Ranganathan tried to revolutionise the whole thinking on classificatory approach, when he devised the Colon Classification (CC) in 1933. He developed the Colon Classification scheme with a sound theoretical background based on normative principles, Five laws of Library science, canons, etc. One important feature of CC is that, its use is not confined to information storage and retrieval alone. This paper presents an over view of different editions of the CC highlighting the salient features of the editions. Further the implication of Five Laws of Library Science has been described. The authors stressed that the features of such as greater hospitality, specificity and mixed notation has paved the way to design and develop the depth schedules on various micro level subjects and so far about 130 micro schedules have been published. The impressions by the leading LIS professionals during and after Ranganathan's time have been highlighted. The authors expressed the fear that when the library world would see the complete version of the seventh edition of CC? It may be due to lack of institutional support engaging in the research or financial constraints. The authors are of the opinion that any scheme to flourish needs a sound research body to bring out the revised editions as done in the case of Dewey Decimal Classification. The relevance of the CC in the contemporary world of Librarianship is discussed. Finally concludes that CC needs to be resuscitated as it is a precious national heritage; and still a force for the management of libraries.
