Online Ongoing Opportunities
Dewey Decimal Training Courses 
OCLC is developing an online set of DDC training materials focused on the needs of experienced librarians who need Dewey application training. The materials will include a basic course on the structure and use of the DDC, plus a series of short modules based on special topics (including a general overview).
The course materials will be available on the Dewey web site at no charge. The presentations and exercises assume the availability of the latest version of the DDC database (i.e., WebDewey), and a professor, trainer, and/or experienced Dewey user for offering explanations and fielding questions. If you have questions as you go through the training please contact Daria Bossman, South Dakota State Library, daria.bossman@state.sd.us 
or 1-800-423-6665. You can access the training materials at OCLC's website.
