Graphics 5.2 Modify 3 slides (#28,29,30) in Finding Books Slideshow Adapt/build graphics and highlights for video segment here Joe, keep an eye on these labels; the number range on each tells which books are on each shelf Stop Joe! Here we are. Your call #...what was it again? That s right. RD97. Your call number falls between this range; RC564-RJ216. That means your book will be on the same side of the shelf as the label in this case, the left. The books are arranged left to right in small sections. If you look closely, you can see the metal brackets that delineate each range. Joe, Joe wait. Remember how the call number was the address of the book? Here s how you interpret it. You already found the first two letters, which go in alphabetical order. Now look for the number before the decimal as a whole number. For this one, you have to go to the 90s not the 9s. Once you find the RD97s, then everything after the decimal is read piece by piece. In this case, you need to find RD97.S.
