    9. 9 Why does this matter to me… Many libraries still use DDC as a shelving tool Many products use or are beginning to use DDC as a data organisation tool http://www.wdl.org/en/about/faq.html DDC can be used as an aid to collection development and has been mapped to RAE categories at the BL

    10. 10 Why does this matter to me… DDC numbers are language independent and can be an excellent mapping spine whilst DDC captions are a rich source of vocabulary http://hilt.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/ New tools and research are always underway at OCLC & beyond… http://dewey.info/
