21 Streamlined in DDC 22 to promote

efficient use in print and electronic versions

Moved to volume 1 in print edition

Manual: Key Changes Notes transferred to tables and schedules Basic instructions moved to Introduction Converted LC practices to standard policy Moved background information to Dewey

Decimal Classification: Principles and Application

Added notes for new topics, e.g., Computer art Remaining Manual notes rewritten in

consistent style

Manual: Sample NoteT1—074 vs. T1 — 029

Museums, collections, exhibits vs. Commercial miscellany

Use —074 for catalogs whose primary purpose is to promote knowledge or art, such as catalogs of collections; use —029 for catalogs whose primary purpose is to promote sale or distribution of products. Use —074 for catalogs of replicas, duplicates, and minor items when offered for sale in museum- or exhibit-like settings by noncommercial institutions. Also use —074 for auction catalogs (e.g., in art), and for catalogs of temporary exhibits of groups of artists, even if a succession of such exhibits provides most of the artists with their primary source of income. If in doubt, prefer

—074.

Captions Revised top two levels for

presentation in print and electronic versions plus browsers

Targeted improvements in section summaries and actual headings
