I am replying to the whole list because it seems to me that some members are not
aware that OCLC, the publisher of the Dewey system, has it available online-sort
of. If you do not mind going with the summaries only, that is, everything up to the
decimal number.
The URL is http://www.oclc.org/oclc/fp/ then click on "DDC Summaries," then click
on the summaries that you need.
If Nancy had been aware of this, she would have found out that 296 is the class for
books on Judaism. Since the books she asked about may be based on religious
holidays, I would say she is okay. But again, this works only if you agree to go
with 296 in this example, and forego with the .4.
