  5. How Libraries Classify Books (and How to Take Advantage of it!)
    Added May 13, 2007 by aseldow
    Most new items coming into the Duke libraries are now classified according to the Library of Congress ("LC" ) system. (We used to use Dewey Decimal, but are phasing it out.) LC assigns call numbers, which we use to shelve the books, by subjects. We use LC Subject Headings in our online catalog. Learning to use them can help you save time and find books you might not get using only keyword searches.
