The Dewey Decimal Classification system is a library classification system used to organize books by subject. It assigns unique numerical codes to different subjects to help libraries arrange books by topic, making it easier for users to locate specific materials.
Books in the library are generally classified using the Dewey Decimal Classification system or the Library of Congress Classification system. The Dewey Decimal Classification system categorizes books based on subjects into 10 main classes. The Library of Congress Classification system organizes books by more specific topics using a combination of letters and numbers.
