English 101 Long Test 1 Review

Library
Considered the greatest storage of resource materials; the “heart of learning”
Coming from the Latin word, “liber” (meaning “to peel (from the bark of the trees)”), then
evolving to the Anglo-Saxon term, “librarie” (meaning “collection of books”)
Two classifications:

 Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) ‒ Melvil Dewey (Father of Librarianship), introduced

the use of Hindu-Arabic numerals to organize library materials, mostly used for libraries
with smaller collections
 Library of Congress Classification (LCC) ‒ USA Library of Congress houses the largest
collections of printed materials for the use of Americans and Congress, considered the
world’s largest library by Guinness Book of World Records, most universities and
colleges use LCC
