Chapter 10, Exercise 7, Abridged DDC.

The workbook is telling me to refer to paragraphs 8.3-8.5 of the Abridged 13 Introduction, which I do not have, and have no idea how to find. I am not sure if I need to find it (have had a bit of a look) but am going to do my best to figure it out without it. I referred to the other introduction (of full DDC), and it was kind of relevant to what the workbook was saying, but not completely... We'll see how I go with this!

Exercise 7: Number building: Adding standard subdivisions
(Table 1)
Select appropriate numbers for the following topics:

1. An encyclopedia of cats

*Cat family 599.75
* Add standard subdivisions as instructed under 592-599 .
Standard subdivisions Notation from Table 1 as modified under 590.1-590.8 , e.g., animal watching 072, collections of living animals 073
T1: Class interdisciplinary encyclopedias in 030 ;
So 599.7503? I have a feeling I'm still rather clueless about this process... Well I guess I am! For a start, cats come under 636.8 (Animal Husbandry heirarchy).... grr to that. Let me try writing it the proper expected way following the answers. I actually think I understand it having looked at how it should be haha...
636.8  Cats
636.8001-636.8009  Standard subdivisions
-030 Class interdisciplinary encyclopedias  (Table 1)
636.8003

2. A serial on early Christian philosophy
190 Modern western and other non-eastern philosophy
" Class here comprehensive works on Christian philosophy..."
"For early and medieval Christian philosophy, medieval western and European philosophy , see 189 ."
189 Medieval western philosophy
"Class here early Christian philosophy "
-05 Serial publications (Table 1)
189.05
Wow! I pretty much wrote exactly what they wrote in their answers... it looks like I copied but I actually didn't... That's exciting! I wonder if I can do it again... :-S

3. Baseball official rules
796.357 Baseball
796.35701-796.35709 Standard subdivisions
-02 Miscellany (Table 1) "...patents, standards, statistics..." (really unsure about this one)
796.35702 Oh, that's right! Apparently "Miscellany" includes official rules! Although I did not see that there... I managed to guess the right one - whoohoo!

4. Coaching Canadian football
796.335  Canadian football
796.33501-796.33509 Standard subdivisions
-07  Education, research, related topics (Table 1) (Also I noticed an example under the Canadian football standard subdivisions note: "Notation from Table 1 as modified under 796.33202-796.33207 , e.g., coaching 796.33507" which made me think -07)
796.33507 Apparently the decision should have been made on the note that I noticed anyway :) for once the notes between the workbook and WebDewey matched up!


5. An encyclopedia of microbiology
579  *Microorganisms, fungi, algae
* Add standard subdivisions as instructed under 579-580 .
"Standard subdivisions Notation from Table 1 as modified under 578.01-578.08 , e.g., collections of living organisms 073"
-03 interdisciplinary encyclopedias (Table 1)
579.03 (Yay another one right! still feeling a little unsure though, and like maybe some of it is luck...)


6. A history of horses
636.1  Equines Horses
636.1001-636.1009 Standard subdivisions
-09 Historical, geographic, persons treatment   (Table 1)
636.1009 (Yes, another one right! I picked the right subdivision too :) )

7. A workbook on animal physiology.
571.1 Animals (under "physiology and related subjects" in the heirarchy)
No Standard subdivisions listed
"Workbook" not specifically listed in Table 1.
-03 interdisciplinary encyclopedias (Table 1) ??
571.103 Let's see... 571.1 is right :) Oh, of course, -07 is in relation to education...
And 076 is "Review and exercise" and states: " Including workbooks with problems, questions, answers..."
So: 571.1076

Chapter 11 here I come!
