The 23rd edition of the DDC, earlier scheduled to be published in 2010, was delayed by about a year to be released in May 2011 in the 135th year of its first publication in 1876. That small pamphlet published anonymously very soon puck like girdled the world, as if it was being awaited. Since then, save a brief period of 1950s, it has been on an ascending path of progress scaling new heights and covering new territories at home and abroad. Though counted among the big three library classification systems (the other two being the UDC and the (LCC); it has surpassed them in its popularity, simplicity and use. Now it is well entrenched in Europe too where since 2007 "European DDC User Group" (EDUG) has been officially established. Used in about two lac libraries in 130 countries in six continents, and in sixty national and trade bibliographies,its official translations exist or are under way in more than thirty major languages of the world.References

S.R. Ranganathan (1892-1972) donned many a hats at a time- a revolutionary thinker, philosopher, educationist, preacher, doer, missionary, teacher, a librarian, and above all a crusader. He worked single-mindedly and tirelessly for the development of libraries and library science in India. More than purveyor of information and knowledge, he valued libraries as instruments for all-round development of the country. At heart he was an internationalist, a humanist who saw libraries as a force in world peace and cooperation (Satija,1992).References

A profession is a self-regulating and autonomous sector of higher education. It is a system to educate, train and certify individuals keen to join it. Being autonomous it is also its own gatekeeper. In context of the larger environment and as a service to itself a profession has to make the nation aware of its importance, and remind the government and society at large of their responsibilities towards the profession. For Example, as an extension service the library profession has to help promote literacy movement and reading habits; and, also urge the government for library legislation for establishment and maintenance of libraries. As a system, profession constantly upkeeps human capital and knowledge assets. In a knowledge society human capital is much valued over other resources. Knowledge is powerful, pure and inexhaustible resource which can be created and harnessed without harming the environment. It is a resource of all resources.References

The ultimate function of a lending library is to serve its users to their satisfaction. A classification is a tool to manage a library. By definition it is an arrangement of information material in a way useful to the majority of the users. In other words it is a rational sequence of maximum utility. Convenience of library users is a weighty consideration, if not the overriding one in a classification. It is always advised to put a book at the most useful place. Practical utility must govern all arrangements feel many librarians and classifiers.References

An attempt is made in this paper to highlight the importance of information in the information society; its relation with data, knowledge and wisdom; its importance in communication, social and economic development.

After the retirement in December 2011 of its long term editor Dr. Joseph Miller (ed.15, 1994--ed.20, 2010), this new edition is bit late by its earlier cycle of three year revisions started since the Sears-14 (1991). This edition by the new editor Ms. Barbara A Bristow is also the first to be published by the EBSCO which in 2011 acquired its founding publisher and proprietor H.W. Wilson Co., and since January 2012 the Sears is edited from its EBSCO office at Ipswich, MA. The EBSCO is a famous research content provider and has more resources in the form of databases, e-books and e-journals. This acquisition provides Sears more literary warrant base to bank upon. One wonders if this acquisition will prove as beneficial as the OCLC was to the DDC research, growth and popularity. Only time will tell.- World Bank Group. Digital Dividends

The paper highlights the functions of a national library as viewed by some authorities in the field. The history, objectives, building, collection and services of the national libraries of SAARC nations are examined. The picture that emerges is that national libraries in the SAARC region are victims of neglect, political interference in administration and lack of understanding of the importance of a repository of national documentary heritage.Keywords
