Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation
und Register, the German translation of
DDC 22, was produced by a team from Die Deutsche Bibliothek in Frankfurt headed
by Magda Heiner-Freiling, and published by K. G. Saur of Munich in four
brightly-colored volumes in October 2005. (We first reported on the ddc.deutsch translation project earlier in
the year.) DDC-DACHS: Die Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation
und der deutschsprachige Raum is a traveling exhibition of
DDC-related material that has been organized by Margit Sandner of the University
of Vienna Library to accompany ddc.deutsch and to promote the new publication.
(The letters making up "DACHS" indicate the German-speaking regions in which the
Dewey-Dezimalkassifikation is used: D = Deutschland; A = Österreich; CH =
Schweiz; and S = Südtirol.) The exhibition debuted at the University of Vienna
Library in February 2005, has since visited Graz, Innsbruck, Bolzano, and
Klagenfurt, and is currently showing (until December 16, 2005) at the Danube
University Library in Krems, Austria. In the New Year, it will go to Linz.
The
photos show a copy of the new translation next to a copy of Melvil Dewey's first
edition of 1876; a view of part of the traveling exhibit; and the copy of
Edition 8 from 1913 that was used by the former librarian of Vienna's British
Council Library.
