How Do I Save a Project
• If you are working in a computer lab or on the computers in the library always save your work to the “P” drive.

Dewey Decimal System
• Fiction
• Non Fiction
Fiction
• Fiction is a made up story.• Fiction is organized alphabetically
by the author’s last name.• Story Collections say “SC” on the
spine, are fiction, and are on the shelf by author’s last name
• Mysteries & Science Fiction are shelved after all the fiction books.
Nonfiction
• Nonfiction are books about “real” topics. • They are arranged by the Dewey Decimal
Number so that books about the same topics are near each other.
• Biographies are books written about a person. They are on the short shelves in front of the nonfiction and are arranged by the famous person’s last name.
Graphic Novels

• If you are a fan, please let me know what titles you would like to see.
