How are the IMC's materials organized?
Many K-12 school libraries use the Dewey Decimal Classification, which is different from the Library of Congress classification commonly used in college and university libraries. (The Library of Congress classification system is the one used to organize most of the collections in. Bailey Library.) Getting familiar with Dewey will help you find resources in the Instructional Materials Center.
The Dewey Decimal System uses 10 broad classifications:
- 000 - 099 = General Works, Computer Science & Information
- 100 - 199 = Philosophy & Psychology
- 200 - 299 = Religion
- 300 - 399 = Social sciences
- 400 - 499 = Language
- 500 - 599 = Science
- 600 - 699 = Technology
- 700 - 799 = Arts & recreation
- 800 - 899 = Literature
- 900 - 999 = History & Geography
