  3. Who is Dewey? • Melville Dewey was born on December 10, 1851 in New York. • He designed a system on how to organize books and martials in a library or media center. • This system is called the Dewey Decimal Classification System. • Before this system, each library shelved the books differently and only the librarian knew how it worked. How confusing?!?! Thank Goodness for Dewey!

  4. How does the Dewey Decimal System Work? • Each book has a group of numbers. • These numbers are given based on what the book is about. • Books about the same thing are put together. • Then these books are put in number order. • Simple, right? • Yes, but let look closer at these numbers. 069 252 147 398.22 811 730.01

  5. Where are these numbers? • First, where are these numbers located? On the spine of the book! Right here! Right here! Why in our media center some of the numbers white and some are yellow? Because yellow means it is an AR book and white means it is not. It doesn't have anything to do with the number.

  6. General Classifications • Next, let’s look at the hundreds. Each hundred means a different subject. • 000s – Generalities • 100s – Philosophy and psychology • 200s – Religion • 300s – Social sciences • 400s – Language • 500s – Science • 600s – Technology • 700s – Arts and recreation • 800s – Literature • 900s – History and geography

  19. Remember there is an order to the Media Center • Remember books about the same thing are put together on the shelf. • If you pull a book and you don’t remember where you got it from, please give it to the media specialist. • It’s important that the books are in the right order so they are easy to find. • Remember this is all because of a smart man named Melville Dewey.
