Dewey Decimal at ISU

The Dewey Decimal Classification System is used to organize and shelve books in public and school libraries.

The ISU Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification System to shelve books in the Teaching Materials (TMMM) section. TMMM is located on the Second Floor in the southwest corner of the ISU Library.

The ISU Library shares its library catalog with the Rose Hulman Institute of Technology and Saint Mary of the Woods College. The Rose Hulman Library uses the Dewey Decimal sytem.
