- A Guide to Localizing Dewey for Long Island Use (rev. as of 1/27/12) -- Since the Dewey Decimal Classification System, in general use by public libraries, stops at the county level, information sources more local than that are scrambled by author or title (main entry). This offers a way to unscramble them and organize them for easy access, by patrons and librarians alike. It has had a proven track record of reducing time spent in hunting down sources, while freeing more time for research. It's not hard to explain or understand, and it even works well when your computer is down.
