"Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what
nobody else has thought." - Albert Szent-Gyorgyl |
How to Use the Dewey Decimal System:
| |
The
Dewey Decimal System
organizes information into 10 broad areas, which are broken into smaller and
smaller topics. Different topics are assigned numbers, known as CALL
NUMBERS. For example, Animals are given the number 599. To see what books
the library currently has on animals, go to the non-fiction shelves and
find the books that have a 599 as part of their call number. A list of some
of the information you can find in the different Dewey Decimal areas,
appears below.
