Abstract
[English Abstract]
Although Indonesian libraries have been using Dewey Decimal Classification for more than half century, since 1952 until present times, from 15th through 22nd editions still many Indonesian librarians and users complained on certain DDC notation which they thought didn’t reflect the true condition of Indonesia as well as the real needs of the users. This paper proposed some modification and corrections for DDC notations especially those notations on languages in Indonesia including Bahasa Indonesia, geographical and historical period. All those modifications, corrections and expansions were based on the languages map of Indonesia, Indonesian geographical division while historical period were based on Indonesian presidents’ administration, from 1945 until present time. It is hoped that such modifications will yield better access to Indonesian-related-materials.
