Meet Melvil Dewey and Dewey Decimal Classifications

Are you doing research? Do you prefer to read nonfiction? If you said, "Yes", to either of these questions, then you will want to meet Melvil Dewey and see how libraries organize information on bookshelves.
Remember, the Internet and online library catalogs are great for searching, but print resources are important and fun to read too. Though we can search a library's collection with a computer data base, we still have to go find the book on the shelves.
Libraries organize information. If is easy to understand how. It is even easier to walk over to the shelves where the information you want is shelved and then look at all the other books about similar or the same topics.
