HOW TO LOCATE A BOOK

If you are looking for all the books on a particular subject, it is convenient to browse the shelves for that subject. Library books are being arranged within each collection by their Subject Codes using Dewey decimal classification (DDC) System. This process is under way and steps are being taken to speed it up.

DDC uses a hierarchical coding system which means sub groups fall within the same array of codes. For example-
