Walker Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system to organize most books in its collection. Exceptions include:
The Dewey system allows books on the same subject to be near each other on the shelves.
DDC assigns each book a number based on the subject matter. There are 10 main subject classes, 100 divisions and 1000 sections that create a three-digit number. This number can be expanded with an unlimited number of decimal places to capture additional details about the item.
