During our Information Literacy session last week Ms Rachel asked us about the Dewey Decimal system. No one, not even I, knew who invented it or where it came from. The tricky question this week is to find this out.
Who invented the Dewey Decimal system?
Where did they come from and when did they invent it?
Please add your answer as a comment in the comments box.
