Description:

The Dark Side of Dewey by Debbie Rabina, Ph.D.Professor, Pratt Institute, School of Information, miNYstories, 10 Dec. 2013. Fall 2013. miNYstories are short multimedia narratives about New York City inspired by literary works. "Melville Dewey was born in 1851 in Adams Center, New York, into a deeply religious family in a deeply religious area of the state ... He had originally wanted to be a missionary, and applied this zeal to teaching and libraries. He spent two years investigating practices at several libraries, leading to publication of his classification system for libraries in 1876." Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder is a book by David Weinberger published in 2007. The book's central premise is that there is no universally acceptable way of classifying information. Starting with the story of the Dewey Decimal Classification, Weinberger demonstrates that all attempts to classify inherently reflect the biases of the person defining the classification system. The Father of Modern Libraries Was a Serial Sexual Harasser by Erin Blakemore, History.com, 19 Dec. 2017, Updated: 22 Aug. 2018. "Melvil Dewey helped create a new profession for women - and harassed them at every step of the way." Bringing Harassment Out of the History Books: Addressing the troubling aspects of Melvil Dewey's legacy by Anne Ford, American Libraries Magazine, 1 June 2018. Dewey Decimal System founder expunged from library award over racism and anti-Semitism by Tim Pearce, 24 June 2019. US library group expunges Dewey name from medal over anti-Semitism, misogyny by Marcy Oster, Times of Israel, 25 June 2019. American Library Assn. strips name of Dewey Decimal System creator from annual award by Michael Schaub, 26 June 2019. "The ALA council made the decision on Sunday [23 June 2019], reports Publisher's Weekly, approving a resolution that urged the award be renamed because of Dewey's history of anti-Semitism, racism against African Americans and sexual harassment of women. The resolution argued that the Melvil Dewey Medal be renamed because 'Dewey did not permit Jewish people, African Americans, or other minorities admittance to the resort owned by Dewey and his wife,' which led to his censure by the New York State Board of Regents." Down With Dewey by Karen Lindell, Slate, 27 Sep. 2019. About Melvil Dewey (1851-1931) from the Dewey Program at the Library of Congress. "Melville Louis Kossuth Dewey was born on 10 December 1851. Keenly interested in simplified spelling, he shortened his first name to Melvil as a young adult, dropped his middle names and, for a short time, even spelled his last name as Dui ... Dewey invented the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system when he was 21 and working as a student assistant in the library of Amherst College, drawing from Sir Francis Bacon's classification of knowledge ..." Dewey Decimal by Melissa Cassel. This book is about the many achievements that Melvil Dewey accomplished throughout his life. "When he [Melvil Dewey] was a child, he enjoyed reading books. While at school one day, the building caught fire. Melvil gathered as many books as possible from the library. He inhaled the smoke and got a cough, which lasted for several months. Melvil was told that he would not live. He decided to make the most of his time ... Melvil was committed to causes. He was organized in everything that he did. It took Melvil several years before he finally solved the classification of books ... He needed to use the simplest method possible to number the classification of all human knowledge in print."

See What's New in the Eighth Edition by MLA, and MLA Eighth Edition: What's New and Different from Purdue Online Writing Lab, Purdue University.History of A Research Guide for Students by I LeeThis site: A Research Guide for Students by I Lee began in July 1998 at geocities.com/athens/troy/8866 (Sites were then assigned to Athens and Acropolis for contents dealing with "Teaching, Education, Reading, Writing, and Philosophy"), then transferred to geocities.com/researchguide. (Shortly after GeoCities was acquired by Yahoo! on January 28, 1999, the practice of naming sites after real cities or regions according to their content was abandoned in favor of using the Yahoo! member names in the URLs). When the Research Guide was featured on Wall Street Executive Library, hits soared and exceeded the bandwidth allowed by Yahoo! for a free site. So a new domain: aresearchguide.com was created. When hits reached 30,000 to 40,000 a day in 2006, the domain aresearchguide.com with a small portion of the content of A Research Guide for Students migrated to UK. On February 7, 2008, bydewey.com was created to retain, maintain and grow from the original Research Guide.On October 26, 2009, all GeoCities.com sites were closed by Yahoo! Someone (David Feinman?) has restored 2,370,970 accounts, archived and moved 31,703,925 pages from GeoCities.com to ReoCities.com, and later to Oocities.org, and recently Geocities.ws has emerged complete with the same contents from October 2009. The Library of the Collective Human Record (lchr.org) also contains over 50,000 catalogued sites archived from GeoCities (1994-2009).You may be able to access some of the old geocities.com web pages at: www.oocities.com/researchguide or www.geocities.ws/researchguide with data from 2009.
