You need a street address
to find a house or business.
Each house or business
has it’s own special address.
Each library item has its own
special address (call number).
The library is like
your grocery store.
Grocery Store items are
grouped by type.
Bakery
Dairy
Non-Fiction grouped by subject.
We use the Dewey Decimal
System to group items by
subject in the Library.
Most public libraries and
some college libraries use
the Dewey Decimal system.
There are 10 main groups.
Where would you find history?

Each of the 10 main Dewey
groups has 10 smaller groups.
400 = Language
410 = Linguistics
420 = English
430 = German
440 = French
450 = Italian and Romanian
460 = Spanish and Portuguese
470 = Latin
480 = Greek and Other Hellenic Languages
490 = Other Languages
Each of the 10 smaller
Dewey groups has 10
even smaller groups.
490 = Other Languages
491 = East Indo-European & Celtic languages
492 = Afro-Asiatic Languages; Semitic languages
493 = Non-Semitic Afro-Asiatic languages

495 = Languages of East & Southeast Asia
496 = African languages
497 = North American Native languages
498 = South American Native languages
499 = Austronesian & other languages
The 3-digit Dewey Decimal
number may be made even more
specific by adding a decimal
point (a period) and
more numbers.
495
= Languages of East and Southeast Asia
495.922
= Vietnamese language dictionary
495.92231 = Vietnamese language picture dictionary

• Read the first line of the Dewey number as a
3-digit whole number. Sort numerically.
• Read the second line of the Dewey number
as a decimal number. Sort numerically.
• If two items have the same Dewey number,
items are then arranged alphabetically by the
next line (the author or title line).
• If the items have the same Dewey and the
same author/title line, then file numerically by
the date on the next line.
• If that is all still the same, then file numerically
by the volume, part or copy number on the
last line.
