, QUESTION 1 (With detailed explanation)
Reader advisory services for wrestlers
Answer:
To classify “Reader advisory services for wrestlers” in the Dewey Decimal
Classification (DDC), we break it into its two conceptual parts:
1. Reader advisory services → This falls under Library and information
sciences, specifically 025.5 Readers’ advisory services.
2. Wrestlers → Wrestling belongs under 796.812 Wrestling within 796 Athletic
& outdoor sports and games.
Because the DDC allows for number building by combining standard subdivisions
with subject areas, we start with the base number for library services and then
extend it to reflect the subject emphasis on wrestling.
