SEEK AND FIND

16. September 25-26,

Information Literacy for Lifelong Learning
At one time, library books were shelved according to
when they were purchased. The first book purchased
would be first on the shelf. The second book purchased
would be second and so forth.
A librarian named Melvil Dewey thought this was a
very inefficient way of arranging books. He thought that
subject should group non-fiction books. If they were, when
one was looking for a book about snakes, for example, one
would find all the books about snakes in one place. One
could examine them and decide which ones to check out.
One wouldn’t have the run all over the librarian looking for
snake books.
How Mr. Dewey arrived at
the order within his system?
