Browsing Books by Dewey Decimal Classification
At the Education Library, some older materials are still arranged by Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), but will eventually be reclassed using Library of Congress Classification. Many school and public libraries still use the DDC class. Below is a guide for browsing by call number.
The system is made up of ten main classes or categories, each divided into ten secondary classes or subcategories, each having ten subdivisions of its own.
