About this course
Every library is a giant filing system, and knowing how it works turns hours of wandering into minutes of searching. This course teaches you how classification systems like Dewey and Library of Congress arrange the shelves, how to read call numbers, how reference librarians help, and how to search catalogs and databases like a professional. You will also trace the story of the card catalog and see how digital search grew out of it.
