Searching Call Numbers

Your library may show a category for Dewey Decimal searching. The Dewey Decimal category organizes books and other materials by their call numbers. When you pick a Dewey Decimal target, the search results include books and other materials with call numbers in the target range.

Example:
Are you looking for books about computers? Books and other materials about technology have Dewey Decimal call numbers in the 600s. If you click the Dewey Decimal 600s target, the search results show books and other materials about computers, as well as books and materials about other technology subjects.
