    Nonfiction Categories:

    000’s General, Encyclopedias, Almanacs, etc.

    400’s Language

    500’s Natural Sciences and Mathematics

    600’s Technology (Applied Sciences)

    700’s The Arts

    800’s Literature and Rhetoric

2. Author’'s Last Name:

Books are arranged (within each type) in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. To save space, only the first three letters of the name are used.
