其他摘要：Despite the wide use of the Dewey
Decimal Classification (DDC), both in
information institutions in general and in
library courses in Brazil, there is very little
literature available in Portuguese that
addresses the cultural, political and
scientific questions and limits of its
applications. It is even rarer to find
literature that seeks to analyze the
historicity of this instrument, and of the
intellectual trajectory of its idealizer. This
paper brings a brief review of reflections
of the foreign literature with critical bias
that search the historicity of the projects
of Melvil Dewey for the American
librarianship that marked the field history
worldwide. It also seeks to understand
the historical coverage and permanence
of the use of CDD system.
