Dewey has a great tips section online...

The answer to Wendy's specific question is at:
http://www.oclc.org/dewey/updates/tips/classification/necessary.htm

The short answer is 973.931 for comprehensive works about the September
11 terrorist attacks.
BUT there are several others that might be appropriate depending on the
content of the work.

For the Dewey Tip Archive listed by Subject and Call Number (2 columns)
