8. What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? The library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification Scheme (DDC) to arrange books and other library materials on the shelves so they may be easily retrieved.

9. What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? How does the Dewey Decimal system work? DDC is an hierarchical number system that organizes all human knowledge into ten main categories. These are: 000Generalities (includes computing) 100Philosophy 200Religion 300Social Sciences 400Languages 500Natural sciences and mathematics 600Technology (applied science) 700The arts 800Literature 900 Geography and history ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ Learning Resource Centre Orientation

10. What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? How does the Dewey Decimal system work? Each main category is then divided into ten sub-categories. For example: 500Natural sciences and mathematics 510Mathematics 520Astronomy 530Physics 540Chemistry 550Earth Sciences 560Paleontology 570Life sciences 580Plants (Botany) 590 Animals (Zoology) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ Learning Resource Centre Orientation

11. What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? How does the Dewey Decimal system work? Each sub-category then also divided into ten specific topics. For example: 530Physics 531Solid mechanics 532Fluid mechanics 533Pneumatics 534Sound 535Light 536Heat 537Electricity and electronics 538Magnetism 539 Modern physics ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ Learning Resource Centre Orientation

12. What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? How does the Dewey Decimal system work? Each of these topics may be further divided into more specific subject areas. A decimal point is used after the first three digits to separate the specific subjects – it also makes the numbers easier to read. You will see that as the subject becomes more specific, so does the numbering. For example: Sound and related vibrations 534.1Generation of sound 534.2Transmission of sound 534.22 Transmission in solids 534.23Transmission in liquids ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ Learning Resource Centre Orientation

13. What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? What classification scheme is used in the CYOC library? Finding items on the shelves The shelfmark will always have at least three numbers, followed by some letters.

Here are some examples: 361.382.576599.647.823. 363JON93594421914 HIGCOCPHILONBAI/B The DDC system places items about the same subject at the same number.
