Melvil Dewey is best known for developing the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system in 1876, which organizes library materials by subject to facilitate easier access and retrieval. This system uses a numeric classification to categorize books, making it simpler for librarians and patrons to find resources. Dewey also advocated for the establishment of libraries and contributed to library education, significantly impacting the way libraries are organized and used today. His work laid the foundation for modern library science.
