Learning Objective
- Learn best practices for assigning call numbers.
While bibliographic records can sometimes supply a call number in a delivered tag, that isn't always the case. Download and read the Call Number and Item Maintenance Tip Sheet on this Library Services Handbook item to learn best practices for assigning call numbers.
Most school libraries use Dewey Decimal Classification, developed by Melvil Dewey, to organize their materials. (Note: Melvil Dewey's portrait is gracing the cover of this class.) Download the Tip Sheet on this Library Services Handbook item to view the How do we Dewey? brochure.
Use the documents you've downloaded in this lesson to complete the final quiz for this class.
