Workshop on Universal Decimal Classification

Abstract

DESIDOC organised a workshop on UDC from 18-23 July 1983, at Metcalfe House for benefit of the staff working in Technical Information Centres/Libraries attached to the DRDO Labs/Estts located in the western zone. Inaugurating the workshop, Shri SS Murthy, Director DESIDOC stressed the need for consistency in classification and indexing systems in DRDO. The participants were given assignments to classify documents comprising books, reports and articles from journals. The tutorials provided opportunity for detailed discussion on complex topics which required deep understanding of the subject matter and application of the principles of classification. The participants were asked to give feedback on the workshop and they rated the course very useful.
