Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird is taught in countless public schools and is beloved by many teachers and future teachers. Embedded within this novel—interestingly—is a strong criticism of an approach to education mockingly referred to as the “Dewey Decimal System.” In this essay I explore Lee’s criticism of progressive education and argue that it tells us something interesting about the novel and about approaches to education inspired by John Dewey

Analiza tematyczna ruchu zielonoświątkowego w ujęciu klasyfikacji dziesiętnej Deweya (KDD)

Suggestions for classifying works on the subject of Pentecostalism in the most recent edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification System reveal a number of existing definitional and historical errors that could cause confusion for cataloguers as well as diminish access to works on Pentecostalism for users of libraries that rely on the Dewey Decimal Classification System. In the following article, I identify the sources of these errors, offer suggestions to remedy them, and argue for the importance of regular consultation between librarians and subject specialists in order to maintain both the accuracy and social responsibility of a classification scheme.Propozycje klasyfikacji dzieł dotyczących zagadnień ruchu zielonoświątkowego w najnowszym wydaniu klasyfikacji dziesiętnej Deweya (KDD) ujawniają wiele błędów w definicjach i historycznych pomyłek, które mogą wprowadzić spore zamieszanie przy ich katalogowaniu, jak również zmniejszyć możliwości dotarcia do odpowiednich dzieł poświęconych pentekostalizmowi tym użytkownikom bibliotek, którzy w swoich poszukiwaniach posługują się układem KDD. Artykuł identyfikuje źródła tych błędów, proponuje sposoby naprawcze i uzasadnia znaczenie regularnej współpracy między bibliotekarzami a specjalistami dziedzinowymi w celu zachowania maksymalnej precyzyjności systemu klasyfikacji zbiorów bibliotecznych i towarzyszącej mu odpowiedzialności społecznej
