Using Dewey Decimal

Using Dewey Decimal

Dewey Decimal Classification is the system for arranging non-fiction in many libraries. Below is a table that shows the broad categories of DDC in addition to some of the subcategories. Be mindful, this is just a helpful guide and this system can continuously be sub-categorized and divided.  For example, the 290 section is for "Other Religions." So there could be a large difference between the books 295, 295.1, 295. 1362, 295.2, etc... When in doubt, always ask the media specialist to locate the book you need!
