Types of Non-Fiction Resources
Non-Fiction
Non-Fiction books present facts or give factual accounts, not invented ones.
These books are arranged on the tan shelves in a letter "C" or "U" around the walls. They are easily indentified because their call numbers consist of a Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) number and the first three letters of the author's last name.
Example: 821 DAV
