The Dewey Classes and Divisions Large Poster, by Follow the Guide!

Description

The large Follow the Guide! posters illustrate the Dewey system’s 100 divisions according to class. Using the images, users can quickly find the categories of books they are looking for.  In a way, this is the plan for the documentary classification of the library.

In addition, 6 illustrations have been added for those major sub-divisions most popular among children and teens and that include numerous documents, for example 398.2 Tales and Legends, 592 Invertebrates, 596 Vertebrates, 598 Birds, 599 Mammals and 636 Livestock.

A different colour is assigned to each class, creating a colour code that becomes an important visual cue throughout the signage system.  To facilitate differentiation of the classes, reference documents are pictured in a square, while fiction appears in a circle.

Characteristics of the 2 suggested posters:

The large Dewey – 800 Conventional Enumerator Poster illustrates all Dewey Classes and Divisions that conform to the Dewey Decimal Classification Convention.

The large Dewey listing poster – 800 literature is different.  All documentary classes are Dewey compliant, and the 800 class in this large poster illustrates 10 species categories – book type: here the documents are classified first by species or type of book which refers either to the format or to the literary genre of the book (Poetry, Theater, Picture books, Children’s novels, Teenage novels, Adult novels, Baby-books , Essays Satire and Humor Speeches, Children’s Comics and Adult Comics). Then, in each of these categories, you will choose to organize the books on the shelf in alphabetical order by author’s name or by Dewey symbol, or according to your preference.  In youth, for example, novels are often classified by collection.

Coloured, plasticized, “17 X 25”.
