Non - Fiction

Fiction books should be shelved in alphabetical order by the author’s last name.

If several authors have the same last name, use the author’s first name to group them in

alphabetical order.

These books should be shelved in alphabetical order by the author’s first name because they all share a common last name. • Andrew Smith• Betty Smith• Sherri Smith

If the author has written several titles, the books are placed in alphabetical order from the title of the book.

Example: All That Glitter Bad

Relative Strangers

Books Beginning with A, An, and The are shelved under

the second word in the title.

For Example: A Summer of Kings is shelved under F

NOL recognizing Summer as the first word in the title.

Non-fiction books are shelved in accordance with the Dewey Decimal

System.

Non-fiction books are shelved under The

Dewey Decimal System in the

following categories. • Anthropology• Geography

• History• Political Science• Sociology /

Psychology• Biography• Reference

If a book has numbers after the decimal point, arrange them in numerical order with their whole number first. The numbers are shelved in order from least to greatest after their whole number.

For example:

When using the Dewey Decimal System, begin by shelving whole numbers together. Then shelve in alphabetical order by the author.
