• Non-fiction books are shelved by their subject.
Why? If you were looking for a book on dogs, you
wouldn’t care who the author is, you would just want

former librarian.
• A Dewey call number always has three
numbers to the left of the decimal (0001.3)
• To the right of the decimal, there is no limit
to the number (001.325)
• The more numbers you add to the right of the
decimal, the more specific the subject is.
• For example, the Dewey number for the
commercial processing of kidney beans is
664.805652 !!
