overview of how non-fiction books in
the media center are organized using
the Dewey Decimal System. At the

About Dewey
• The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) was developed by
Melvil Dewey, a college librarian, in 1871 after he became
frustrated with the impractical system he was using previously.
• The DDC categorizes titles by subjects, using a system of
Arabic numbers and systems.
• Each DDC number is represented by three numbers. For
further classification, a decimal and more numbers may follow.
• The DDC call number is located on the book’s spine.
• The DDC is used in most libraries today.
