General guidelines (back to top)

Cataloguing can't be learned in a day.Dewey is not a perfect system; not all books fit neatly into a single numberSome books can legitimately be catalogued in several numbers; choose the one most appropriate to the curriculum and the conditions in your institutionAlways put a book in a number where it will get maximum usage; move excellent books if they don't seem to be usedBend the rules to suit local needsAvoid censorship: put literature in the 800sCatalog biographies into subject areas. ie. a biography of Tiger Woods should be in golf, not biographyThere are standard subdivisions that can be added to almost any number:

.03 = dictionaries, encyclopedias. ie. 503 for a dictionary of science; 610.3 dictionary of medical terms

.09 = history and criticism. ie. 809 = criticism of literature; 385.09 for a history of railwaysplace numbers can be added where appropriate:

.71 = Canada; ie. 385.0971 Canadian railways;

.73 = US; ie. 330.973 American economicscountry codes are already present in the 900s. e.g., 971 means Canadian history; 917.3 means American geography

.07 = education; ie. 507 = studying science; 622.07 = the study of miningBegin by estimating the Dewey number. Then check the Dewey index. Never assign a number without looking up the actual number in the schedules.
