The responsibility for the maintenance of DDC rests with Forest Press, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Lake Placid Education Foundation which Melvil Dewey set
up to carry on his work. Editorial work is carried out under contract at the Library of
Congress, though the Forest Press continues to market and publish DDC. In between
these two organisations is a group called DDC Editorial Policy Committee composed
of practising librarians and library educators who advise the Forest Press and the
editor on matters relating to revision.
