Do you know what a library prefix is on a spine label or in the catalog? |
|
Each number stands for a special topic.
Every book is given a number and is put on the shelf in number order.
Books with the same number are put in alphabetical order by the author’s
last name. The Dewey Decimal Classification System is used in Public
libraries. It is helpful for patrons to understand why books are numbered
and how to find the numbers on the shelves, so they can use the library
effectively. |
|
Listed below is the dewey
decimal classification but there are classifications not listed in the
dewey system. If you'd like to learn a little about them, just click on
other classifications. |
