  1. The Dewey Decimal Classification System Find information about everything in the world and beyond! • Heidi Packer Sue Thach MEDT 6463 Spring, 2011

  2. What is the Dewey Decimal Classification System? • It organizes books and other materials in libraries so that people can find them easily on the shelves. • It is arranged using numbersto represent all of the subjects in the world . . . and beyond.

  3. Melvil Dewey (1851-1931) • The Dewey Decimal Classification System was Melvil Dewey’s BIG idea. • He divided all of the knowledge in the world into ten main classes and left room for things he didn’t even know about yet, like computers. http://www.slais.ubc.ca/COURSES/libr517/02-03-wt2/projects/dewey/Images/deweymelvil.gif

  4. Dewey is everywhere! • When you go to other libraries, you can find non-fiction books using the same system. • Books are grouped together by subject, so when you go to the section on animals (599) you can browse the shelf and see books about many animals.

  5. The Online Catalog Pebblebrook High School Media Center 2011 • The computers in your library have a catalog program that helps you find the books you want to read. • When you type in a search term, the catalog gives you a list of books with that subject and the Dewey number telling you where to find it on the shelf. • This number is the address of the book. It is called a “Call Number.”
