Core collections by Dewey Decimal number

Having a balanced, well-rounded collection is vital to the success of any library. When I worked in a public library, one of my favorite tasks was when the Manager would assign everyone a Dewey Decimal call number range. We would go to the shelves and look for any collection gaps and assess the strength of that specific area of the collection. Have you been working to make sure your digital collection is as well-rounded and strong as your physical collection? To help you with this, we have created a collection of lists based on the title's Dewey Decimal call number. 150s – Psychology 320s – Political Science & Process 360s – Social Services & True Crime 610s – Medical Sciences 640s – Family Living 650s – Management 790s – Recreational & Performing Arts 810s – American Literature 900s – History & Geography 920s – Biography & Autobiography   Are there any other categories you would like to see on this list? We'd love your feedback. We're always happy to create any custom lists.
