Outline • DDC’s role in resource discovery • Dewey + geospatial retrieval • Structural prerequisite: MARC fields 034, 043 • Semantic prerequisite: geocodes • Dewey + subject headings (+ facet-based retrieval) • Structural prerequisite: MARC fields 083, 085 • Semantic option: LCSH / FAST mapping

Placing Dewey on the map: Hierarchies Turkey / Bosporus (Europe & Asia) T2—49618 T2—5632 T2—5633
Geospatial reasoning • Question: “Display all Dewey numbers that represent countries that are adjacent to T2—6626.”
Outline • DDC’s role in resource discovery • Dewey + geospatial retrieval • Structural prerequisite: MARC fields 034, 043 • Semantic prerequisite: geocodes • Dewey + subject headings (+ facet-based retrieval) • Structural prerequisite: MARC fields 083, 085 • Semantic prerequisite: LCSH mapping
Dewey number: 839.738 + FAST subject headings + Genre (LCSH / GSAFD)
Related works: Dewey+ vs. Google Google: Shows you “more of the same” (e.g., books from Michael Pollan) Supports known-item search (searching for a version of a specific work) Dewey+ (“Kindred Works”): Shows you “more of the different” (cultural-historical accounts of eating and drinking) Supports exploratory search (exploring a subject/topic space)
