Locating what you’re looking for • The library uses the Dewey Decimal system to organize materials • This system organizes everything into categories and subcategories • The nonfiction categories use numbers….
What does it mean? • When you’re looking for a nonfiction book, you need to know the Dewey Number called the “call number” from the catalog to find its location on the shelf. • For fiction, you need to know the author’s last name to find a book’s location on the shelf. • Think of the call number as the book’s address…. 796
