Finding Books on Library Shelves
Finding Books on Library Shelves
Dewey Decimal & Library of Congress
Dewey Decimal & Library of Congress
Library resources are shelved by a book's CALL NUMBER, which tells you where it is located in the library. When you use the online library catalog to search for a book, write down its CALL NUMBER, and then go to the shelves to find it. Books are arranged by numerical and alphabetical order based upon CALL NUMBER.
Fiction is almost always in a separate section organized by author's last name. The CALL NUMBER for fiction starts with an F or a Fic. Libraries might also have special grouped sections for Graphic Novels, Short Stories, Reference, Biographies, Audio Visual, Professional, and others depending on special groups and needs. We have special sections for Fic for Fiction; GN for Graphic Novel; and PRO for Professional.
Some libraries use the Dewey Decimal system for their call numbers, and others the Library of Congress. You can search a library by subject and section if you know which system it uses to classify and catalog books. Most school and public libraries use Dewey; most academic and university libraries use Library of Congress.
See if you can use Dewey to sort, shelve, and find books using Dewey Decimal with the following game. It is also great for library TAs to test shelving skills! Shelver Game. Did you learn something new?
