How are books in the Library organised?
Answer
We use a numbering system called Dewey Decimal Classification to organise collections of resources in the Library into subjects.
There are ten subject groups:
- 000-099 Computer science, information and general works
- 100-199 Philosophy and psychology
- 200-299 Religion
- 300-399 Social sciences
- 400-499 Language
- 500-599 Science
- 600-699 Technology
- 700-799 Arts and recreation
- 800-899 Literature
- 900-999 History and geography
Use the floorplans and guides to find out which numbers are on which floors:
