Do the Dewey
Items organised with this system are divided into 10 general topics represented by the numbers 000 – 900. These categories are broken down into 10 subdivisions, and those subdivisions are further broken down into 10 specific topics. (That's why it's called a "decimal" system – everything works from the number 10 – just like Australian currency does.)
Move your mouse slowly over each of these topics to discover just some of the sub-topics:

Dewey Decimal System is based on numbers. You're probably familiar with it from
your school, public, or university library. Knowing which Dewey area is of interest
to you will help you browse any library's collection.
