The La Isla Library Catalogue is based on the same catalogue system
that libraries everywhere use to organize information, the Dewey Decimal
system. (I take that back, the Library of Congress made up their own,
but what do you expect.) If you'd like to see more classifications than
you'll ever need, and possibly figure out why something on this page
is listed where it is, click
here to visit a DD page inside the Thompson-Nicola Regional District
Library System site. And, if you'd like to visit the site of the company
which maintains and constantly updates the Dewey Decimal Classification
system, click here
to visit Forest Press.
