How to shelve library materials

[@sorasgirl0]

This was really helpful, thank you! I'm trying to essentially learn the DDS and shelving books overnight for a job offer. Thanks for this great video!

[@MrTod1984]

Did you get the job?

[@sorasgirl0]

Wow! I can't believe I made that comment almost a decade ago. Yes, I got the job! I ended up working at 2 libraries for a total of 5-ish years, but I'm in a completely different field now! @@MrTod1984

I must know if you got the job as well!

[@sorasgirl0]

@@lolsmileyface493 What an old post I made! YES, I got the job! I ended up working in two libraries since then! Completely different career field now but I loved working at both libraries and I'd recommend it to anyone if they're interested! You quickly learn the DDS it's no biggie at all!

Thank you so much, I’ve been working at my library as a student worker so this helps a ton

You show 636.75 coming before 636.73 when you replaced the book. That might confuse some people.

[@jkotynek]

Good point. However, I think the Instructor was creating a real-life situation where an untrained book handler such as a Patron who is clearly unfamiliar with the Dewey Decimal System; would place a book back on the shelf in the wrong place. This is also a trick an instructor does to see if his or her audience is paying attention. Well done!

Brenda Scheiner - "You show 636.75 coming before 636.73 when you replaced the book That might confuse some people." YES!! I work at a library and I noticed that right away (glad someone else did!) - there is no excuse for making such a mistake. I can understand a newbie doing that, but in an instructional video????

[@nghiahuynh8008]

he wasn't really focusing on those books but the ones after them. I can see your point though.

[@jkotynek]

Very helpful, thank you for posting this.

[@owatonnanotices6237]

636 identifies animals. Dogs are 636.7. Anything beyond 636.7 defines types of dogs.

[@francisforeverrrrrr]

how do you know that 636.7 is dogs? is there some kind of chart orrr

[@sihaelover]

​​​​@@francisforeverrrrrryes there are manual books for dewey decimal classification that tell you specific call number for specific subject

[@nerymortimer2594]

Thank you now it that was interesting and makes a lot more easier to find the books you need.

[@12369ja]

What happens if the decimal number is the same? Do those get shelved alphabetically?

[@ramjotgrewal2580]

They get shelved by Authors Last name, then first name, then title

[@12369ja]

@@ramjotgrewal2580 ok, thank you

[@nicholasschran9019]

I don't know what I find funnier. The fact that I willingly clicked on this video, or the fact that I find this topic genuinely interesting. Also, you put 75 before 73. That is pretty much the opposite of what you were telling us to do later on, and is driving me slightly crazy.

[@nghiahuynh8008]

It must have been a mistake, haha.

[@LillianOglethorpe]

I caught that too. Oopsies.

[@mygigi43]

This is helpful but,it would be even more helpful, if you had zoomed in closer to the call numbers.

[@souldiegirl]

The 600 category is Technology, isn't it? The 500 category is science. Wouldn't dogs be listed in the 500's?

[@paul.a.clayton6640]

Domesticated animals do fit under "applied science". Biological study of dogs would be somewhere in 599 (mammals). (I miss working as a page.☹)

[@MrRafail007]

From where I can get this book stand to seperate books ?

[@c.o8016]

A search for book ends may get you what you're looking for.

[@alphacomputersolutions2314]

what is catalogue though

[@naniipaschal3085]

Wat is the meaning written below The main class no. Of DDC

[@auxmike718]

Isn’t this system now obsolete?

[@sorayaahmadi927]

Thanks excellent but I know that learning more ☺️

[@shannonmalayajones7649]

needed at Lamont and Chicago branch's

[@alphacomputersolutions2314]

thanks man

[@megroberts9420]

Your Samoyed book should be shelved before Spaniels!

[@AmericaLIED]

I just don't get it?!!!!!

[@M310GL]

You need a DDC list of classes. This one in Wikipedia could be usefull for a start en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dewey_Decimal_classes

[@shannonmalayajones7649]

just aim exam for ebooks pending
