The Dewey Decimal System is a classification system for libraries but mostly used in school and public libraries. It is made of 10 categories. All books fall into this classification system. We reviewed this system a lot last year. I wonder how many you can remember? This is the basic classification system.

000 Reference 100 Philosophy 200 Religion 300 Social Issues 400 Languages 500 Science 600 Technology 700 Entertainment 800 Literature 900 History

//We also learned that we may have to look in two different sections to find the book we are looking for. Consider the following: If a book is called: Witch Hunts of America, this book could be found under history (900s) or religion (200s).//

Each section is divided up by 10s to further the system. Such as the 900s. 910 geography and travel 920 group biographies 921 biographies and autobiographies 930 history of Europe 950 Asia 960 Africa 970 North America 980 South America 990 Other

As seniors, you need to be aware of another classification system that is used in College Libraries, Medical libraries, Military libraries, Congressional libraries, etc. This is called the Library of Congress Classification System. It is divided up into 23 sections. The sections are as follows:

== I am going to give you a list of books. I want you to make a new page in google sheets, and copy the list of books in the first column. Column 2 will be DDS and column 3 will be LOC. You will tell me where you think the books will be found in each system. ==
