Class 5-2 and 5-3 have learned how the non-fiction section of the library is organized. They now know that Melvile Dewey created the Dewey Decimal System many years ago in order to organize non-fiction books by a subject's category. All non-fiction books are separated into 10 different categories, making it easier for students to locate non-fiction books for their research projects. However, they should not forget how important the call number of books can be as well. After using the OPAC to search for specific books in our library students can now pinpoint the category and reduce the amount of time spent searching the shelves.
If you come to the library just look for the signs that will help you identify each of the categories listed below:
000-099 General Works
100-199 Philosophy and Psycology
200-299 Regilion and Mythology
300-399 Social Sciences
400-499 Languages
500-599 Natural Science
600-699 Applied Science
700-799 Arts and Recreation
800-899 Literature
900-999 Geography and History
