In 2020 the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council in Prince George, British Columbia shifted from organizing its library with the Dewey Decimal Classification to using a version of the BDCS . They added new subject heading categories for topics of local interest such as the crisis of Missing and murdered Indigenous women. The high-level organizational structure of BDCS reflects a First Nations worldview, with an emphasis on relationships between and among people, animals, and the land. Subcategories demonstrate the relationships among First Nations by grouping them geographically as opposed to alphabetically; the latter is a practice frequently used for specific topics in the Library of Congress Classification.
