The Dewey Decimal Classification System is used to organize and shelve books in public and school libraries.
The ISU Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification System to shelve books in the Teaching Materials (TMMM) section. TMMM is located on the Second Floor in the southwest corner of the ISU Library.
The ISU Library shares its library catalog with the Rose Hulman Institute of Technology and Saint Mary of the Woods College. The Rose Hulman Library uses the Dewey Decimal sytem.
The major Dewey Decimal divisions are:
000 Computers, information, & general reference
100 Philosophy & psychology
200 Religion
300 Social sciences
400 Language
500 Science
600 Technology
700 Arts & recreation
800 Literature
900 History & geography
Library classification sytems are used to organize and shelve books. Some librarians get a little fanatical about it...
