LOCATION OF RESOURCES (BOOKS)
Books are kept/located in Almirah/ Book rack with a number such as ‘A’, ‘B’…and 1,2… assigned to each rack so that location of books to a particular subject or similar/related categories can be kept together.
Q. Why books are kept separately (in different book shelf/almirah)?
Ans: If different subjects are kept together in a similar book shelf/almirah/rack, users will find it difficult to search books of the desired ones. So, similar genre books are kept together.
Q. How do they know that books are of different types/subjects?
Ans: Different books deals with different subjects or areas of concentrations or genres. Books can be separated into Fiction (Composed books such as poems, novels, stories, etc.) and Non-Fiction (Books of Facts such as History, Science, etc). (these classifications of books will be discussed after wards when basic concepts are cleared)
BOOK STORAGE
In our Library, we have 6 (Six) Almirah. In these almirah, books of different subject areas are classified and kept. (These classifications will be taught next time)
Q. Why are Books kept in Almirah?
Ans: It is because Almirah can be closed, and prevent the books from dust, weather, water, insects, etc.
Q. How are Books classified?
Ans: Books are classified according to DDC (Dewey Decimal Classification) system, by using decimal number.
N.B.: The information provided are based on the context of KV Udalguri Library. Some terms are used here, they will be discussed later on in the coming classes.
