Abstract

Our librarianship has gone through very important phases until reaching todays maturity and international interaction played an important role during this time. Although an intensive effort was made for the adaptation and application of the methods and techniques used in developed countries, continued cooperation and upgrading for achieving desired level of excellence is still needed. As is known one of the basic services for users is a sound classification system which will enable them to reach the material they need easily. The introduction and application of the Dewey Decimal Classification System in Turkey was unfortunately delayed. Due to the encouraging support and importance extended to the problem by American librarians both in our country and abroad, this necessary service became available all over Turkey.

Keywords: Dewey Decimal classification, International interaction
