Simple search tips from the Librarian
In the Dewey Decimal system of organizing information, the 820's
are where you will find information on English writers. Therefore,
one strategy to locate information on your author, could be to browse
the 820-829 section of this library.
Secondly, the 921's are where many of the individual
biographies are located. Biographies are shelved by the number 921
then alphabetically by who they are about. So if you were looking
for a biography of Agatha Christie, you could browse the shelves
in the 921 Chr's.
