Early libraries has many different strategies
for organizing their collections, making it hard
to use the books. Each library was different.
Melville Dewey created a simple decimal
system to simplify and standardize the
arrangement of library collections. The system
is used to this day.
The Dewey Decimal system is similar to
today’s grocery stores; but since books, unlike
groceries, all look alike, cataloging is needed.
The major components of cataloging are a
spine label, signs, and a cross-referenced
online database.
In addition to numerical spine labels, the
following spine markings may be found:

Melvil Dewey
Melvil Dewey was a librarian
who lived many years ago.
He wanted people to be
able to find books in his
library. He invented a way
to arrange the books using
numbers—just like a food
store.
If you can get around in a grocery store, you can get around in a library.
How do you know where to find
things?
HINT: Look up.
