The Dewey Decimal Classification System
(DDC) categorizes nonfiction books into ten
main divisions (see below). These classes are
then divided into ten subdivisions. The use of
decimals allows for additional categories. A
book is assigned a Dewey number based on its
subject. The Dewey number and the first three
letters of the author's last name become the
book's call number. Nonfiction books are
arranged numerically on the shelves according
to DDC:)
