Dewey Decimal System
Dewey Decimal System
The Dewey Decimal system is a classification system used by libraries to arrange books via subject. Each book is issued a class mark number, found on the spine of the book, and arranged in numerical order.
The first three letters refer to the curriculum area. eg. HIS for History
Then the first three digits refer to broad subject area, and are shelved in numerical order e.g. 945 is shelved before 946.
After the three digits there is a decimal point and numbers after the decimal point show the sub-section of the subject area. Again they are shelved in numerical order e.g. 945.805 is shelved before 945.81.
