Inhaltsangabe

Master the library’s organizer with a practical, hands-on guide.

This concise primer explains how books are numbered, shelved, and found in a large public library, using a real-world system as the map. This edition walks you through the numbering logic, from author and topic placement to the distinct class groups and the labels that distinguish items on the shelf. It shows how a reader can locate materials by author, by topic, or by title, and how the system supports a miniature, reflected catalog in the published finding tools.

• How books are grouped by general classes and sub-classes, with concrete examples.
• How author numbers, topic codes, and subject headings guide shelf placement and discovery.
• How to use the author, title, and topic indexes to find what you need quickly.
• How the classification system translates to the reader’s path from catalog to shelf.
