[Service Title] Revised edition 2010
Notes to users 1. Decimal places - We have included up to three decimal places in some areas, especially history and geography. E.g. Stratford-upon-Avon 941.489. Depending on the size of your library, age of children etc. you may want to reduce this. E.g. 941 or 941.4. 2. British History— we have used 941, (British history) in all cases, even where 942 (English history) would be strictly accurate. We have found this results in a more manageable sequence. 3. Biographies — These can be kept within their subject area or in a biography sequence. If the Biography sequence is separate then spine as B followed by the first four letters of the persons name. If the sequence is kept within the information books use the prefix 920 and then the letters of the name.
