Who put theDeweyin the
Dewey Decimal System?

Melvil Dewey lived
an extraordinary life! He was born in
Adams Center, New York, onDecember 10, 1851,
and died onDecember 26, 1931.
![Page 4: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
He was a librarian who invented adecimal classification system for
library books called theDewey Decimal System.
![Page 5: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In 1876, he founded the American Library Association
and published the first Library Journal,which included
new library trends and book reviews.Melvil opened the first library school in 1887 located at
Columbia University.

Before we get startedwe're going to do a quick review.
We are going to coverthe difference betweenfiction and non-fiction
and how to organize them.We will also discuss
call numbersand what they look like.
![Page 7: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Fiction - Books that are made up by the author, or are not true,are fiction
![Page 8: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nonfiction - is the opposite of fiction.
Books that are nonfiction, or true,are about real things, people,events, and places.
![Page 9: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Still confused?
Well, here's another way to remember it:
You can only say no once.
Fiction = not trueNonfiction = true
![Page 10: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Fiction books are put on the shelf inalphabetical order by
the author's last name.
Let's pretend you wrote a book and your last name was Cleary. If kids liked your book, they would want to read more of them, so by having your books in the same place it would make finding them a lot easier.
![Page 11: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Non-Fiction books are shelved by their subject's category
For example, if you wanted a book about cars, you would want them to be in the same area. You wouldn't worry about the author, you would just want
the facts about cars.
![Page 12: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fiction and non-fiction books are shelved this way
so you can easily findthe book of your choice.
If they weren't shelved this way,
libraries would be in total chaos !
![Page 13: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A call number
is a group of numbers and/or lettersput together to tell you
where in the libraryto find your book.
A call number is locatedat the bottom of the book on the spine.It helps you to find your books quicker.
Once you've got your call numberfrom the card catalog,
it's time to go find your book!
![Page 14: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This is where a
call number is located:
![Page 15: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Here's something to remember:Don't let it confuse you, but just because it's a
call number doesn't mean it has numbers! Some call numbers are made up of letters.
I'll show you some examples later.
![Page 16: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Now, if you're having trouble finding your book on the shelf,
remember this rule forhow the books are shelved:
left-to-right, top-to-bottom
![Page 17: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
That means you start at the left on the top shelfand move to the rightuntil the shelf ends.
Then, you go to the next shelf beneath thatand do the same,
left to right, top to bottom.
![Page 18: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When you get to the end of the bottom shelf,
move up to the top shelf of the next section,and continue...
![Page 19: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What does a FICTION call number look like?
We have been talking about call numbers a whole lot.One thing we have not taught you is what a call number looks like.
We need to teach you how fiction and Dewey call numbersare different.
F = Fiction McD = first 3 initials of theauthor's last name
![Page 20: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Next, there is the call number that we use for nonfiction books and that is the
Dewey Decimal Number.A Dewey call number always has
three numbersto the left of the decimal.
To the right of the decimal, there is no limit on number.
The more numbers you add to the right of the decimal,the more specific the subject is.
![Page 21: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
We are going to tell you how to remember what each of the Dewey hundreds groups represents.
One day, while Melvil Dewey was walking in Central Park, he saw a UFO. He became terrified of it, and ran to take cover.
![Page 22: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The UFO approached Central Park with a loud noise and bright lights surrounding it. A weird looking creature stepped out of the space craft. Dewey got up from the ground and peeked out from behind a tree.
![Page 23: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
They stood staring at each other, and then they got up enough nerve to ask:
We think about ourselves: 100s - Psychology and Philosophy
![Page 24: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Melvil and the alien looked at each other with puzzled expressions and noticed how different they were from each other. As they stood, they wondered to themselves:
![Page 25: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Dewey realized that the alien's world must be very different from the United States. He decided to take him to learn about our government.
People learn to get along together: 300s - Social Sciences
Alien Story700 - 800
![Page 26: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dewey knew that the alien would need to learn how to communicate with people.
400s - Languages
We communicate with each other
![Page 27: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Dewey and the alien began to stroll around, and Deweyexplained life on Planet Earth.
We learn about Nature and the world around us:
500s - Natural Science.
![Page 28: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Dewey explained to the alien that humans have changed Nature to make life easier.
How we can make Nature useful? 600s - Applied Science
![Page 29: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dewey explained to the alien that technology has made life easier on Planet Earth. It gives us more free time to do what we want. Dewey and the alien took a spare moment to shoot hoops.
700s - Fine Arts and Recreation
![Page 30: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Dewey and the alien had a fabulous day. He invited the alien to visit the library where he worked. Dewey gave him a tour of the library and explained how his decimal classification system worked.
While there, they decided to make a memory of their day on Planet Earth by making a scrapbook. They wrote what will become history sooner or later - their day together!
900s - Geography and History
![Page 32: 62714355 Dewey Decimal Classification Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537b6164a7959b26f8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
As the Alien prepared to leave, he told Dewey, "When I get backto my planet, I want to group all my books in this new awesome way. But, which hundred group should I put my scrapbook in?"
Dewey replied, "That's easy! You would put it in the 000s - General Works. That's where we put encyclopedias because they contain so much information that you can't describe them in one category!"
000s - General Works - Encyclopedias, books about libraries,museums, journalism, computers, and controversial or unexplained topics.
