Class numbers

Books in DBS libraries are classified using the Dewey Decimal System. All books in the library have a number from 000-999, with each number representing a different topic. In the near future, a small list of Dewey numbers of interest to DBS students will be posted. The books that interest you will all have a Dewey class number, the Dewey number for that topic. In the advanced search section of the online library catalogue, you can choose to search by class (select ‘Class’ in the ‘Field’ drop down menu). Enter the Dewey number for your topic and press enter. For example, selecting class number “658.83” [Market Research] will return all books with this class number.

If you are looking for books on your reading list, but they are all out on loan, why not use the class number of the book to find alternatives? It would be very unusual for the books on your reading lists to be the only books ever published on that subject :-)
