The Library collection is arranged according to these numbers, beginning with the lowest and moving to the highest. This means that books close to the same subject will have similar numbers. – The Dewey number for each item in the collection is included in the Library’s online resources and can be used to identify and locate any book needed. See the Online Resources section for details. – The following table shows the ten major subject divisions, each with its Dewey number range.
