Hinweis der Redaktion
- In Melvil’s day there was no set way for library books to be organized. This made it hard for people to find the books they wanted, so Melvil started thinking and came up with a brilliant idea!!
- He decided it would make it easier to find books if they were grouped by subject, so first he came up with 10 general groups to use for sorting all subjects.
- Today we have too many fiction books in our libraries to organize them in this way, so fiction books have their own way of being organized.
