In the Library, Non-fiction books (and some literature) are often arranged using the Dewey Decimal Classification system, using numbers to arrange them by subject. In the college we use the system within key topic areas for each subject. In many university libraries, all books will be found shelved by Dewey Decimal alone. Below is a list of useful number classes for this subject.
