But I do hope they learn their favorite sections. I don’t expect kids in the 21st century to memorize the 10 main categories like we all had to do growing up. I should have a “WWDD?” sticker on my car. There are just so many fiction books that it makes no sense to squeeze them into their rightful place in the 800s (I also love blowing a second- or third-graders mind with this fact). I love that everyone thinks Dewey is just for nonfiction, but it’s actually for all books, period. I love that animals are in the 500s (Natural Sciences), but farm animals and pets are in the 600s (Technology). I think it’s beautiful and idiosyncratic and a soothing constant of the universe. Pretty much everything I know about Dewey was learned on the job and through osmosis as a lifelong library user and second generation librarian.Īnd now I live the Dewey Decimal system naming the number for random subjects is my best party trick. So it’s not an impossible system to learn. Exactly one class period was dedicated to learning the Dewey Decimal System, and I had the flu that week.

It covered all the different systems used in academic and public libraries, plus all the methodologies behind cataloging.
As part of my Masters in Library and Information Science, I had to take a class in cataloging. My favorite dorky librarian joke is that I was absent the day they taught the Dewey Decimal System in library school.
