We found our words now by letter. 73 00:06:05,18 --> 00:06:07,45 But that's one for you to work on. 74 00:06:07,47 --> 00:06:13,11 Now what do you know about finding the books on the shelves with all I know they're 75 00:06:13,11 --> 00:06:17,09 organized into sections one hundred two hundred some three hundred. 76 00:06:17,10 --> 00:06:19,25 Intelligent part of what I mean gene. 77 00:06:19,92 --> 00:06:25,19 Have you ever noticed this chart is a summary of the organization system we call 78 00:06:25,19 --> 00:06:28,78 the Dewey decimal system using study it 79 00:06:28,78 --> 00:06:34,72 and become familiar with it especially those sections you use frequently. 80 00:06:34,74 --> 00:06:39,21 Each number means something. Take five hundred for example. 81 00:06:41,90 --> 00:06:45,30 All books numbered in the five hundred deal was 82 00:06:45,30 --> 00:06:50,29 that five ten tells us the book deal with mathematics. 83 00:06:51,44 --> 00:06:58,16 Of twenty tells us the book deal with astronomy five thirty is physics each figure 84 00:06:58,16 --> 00:07:03,01 in the number is significant and helps the standard book. We want. 85 00:07:03,03 --> 00:07:06,85 We find the same numbers on the shelves and books. 86 00:07:10,17 --> 00:07:15,12 Five three zero. General physics. 87 00:07:16,06 --> 00:07:17,65 You see what I mean yes 88 00:07:18,41 --> 00:07:21,89 but the point is only the rest of the culture will look further and will soon be. 89 00:07:22,41 --> 00:07:25,21 You will be looking for many books in the eight hundred you know 90 00:07:25,21 --> 00:07:26,46 that there are live pictures 91 00:07:26,46 --> 00:07:30,78 that drive all books number eight hundred are in literature. 92 00:07:30,80 --> 00:07:37,16 And each number has a special meaning. The eight means literature. 93 00:07:38,60 --> 00:07:44,19 Numbers in this column mean the country numbers in this column mean the form of 94 00:07:44,19 --> 00:07:44,76 the writing. 95 00:07:45,37 --> 00:07:51,94 Thus eight tens are American literature eight twentys are English literature 96 00:07:51,94 --> 00:07:55,87 eight thirtys are German literature and so forth. 97 00:07:57,37 --> 00:07:59,82 Now adding form. We find. 98 00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:08,06 eight elevens are American poetry eight twelves are American drama. 99 00:08:10,56 --> 00:08:13,96 What would eight twenty one be? 100 00:08:13,98 --> 00:08:19,54 But it would be literature English poetry. Fine. 101 00:08:19,56 --> 00:08:23,57 Now, you try to find the book you want.

But this isn't the book I Want. Better use all the call number. 106 00:08:46,97 --> 00:08:52,22 The second part helps to locate a particular book. In biography the first letter of 107 00:08:52,22 --> 00:08:55,53 the number was first to the person written about, in other books 108 00:08:55,80 --> 00:09:05,85 it refers to the author.
