Zondervan Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification (DCC) system for non-fiction materials in the Main Collection. By knowing the DCC # for specific disciplines, you can more effectively and efficiently search the collection. Morehead State University's Camden-Carroll Library has created a great website that provides an overview of the DCC.
