Is Universal Decimial Classification still in usage in the EU and the USA?
Just being curious and don't know where to ask this. Is Universal Decimial Classification still in usage in the EU and the USA? In Russia it is mandatory and should be written above the title of the article, but I've never seen it in non-Russian journals. So, nobody uses it? Or the librarians just find it themselves and don't bother scientists and editors with it? I tried to google it, but found nothing.
Every now and then I consult the Wikipedia article on the topic to see if there are any new aids to help but no change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Decimal_Classification
Edit: I've had a similar series of requests concerning the MMS ID for journal titles. Now that the National Library of Medicine Locator Plus includes the ID I'll need to give this more thought. I haven't been able to get any of the people requesting the MMS to explain how they would apply this information. Do any Zotero Forum readers have insight into this? Neither OCLC WorldCat nor the LOC includes this ID with their listings.
