Chapter 2: Skip it!!!
You're going to notice we skip a large section of numbers, but why is that?
Let's refer to the classifcation of the numbers 030-079 in the Dewey Decimal System.
030 General encyclopedic works
031 General encyclopedic works -- American
032 General encyclopedic works in English
033 General encyclopedic works in other Germanic languages
034 General encyclopedic works in French, Provencal, Catalan
035 General encyclopedic works in Italian, Romanian, Rhaeto-Romanic
036 General encyclopedic works in Spanish & Portuguese
037 General encyclopedic works in Slavic languages
038 General encyclopedic works in Scandinavian languages
039 General encyclopedic works in other languages
040 Not assigned or no longer used
O30 refers to things like the Oxford Book of Lists, The Guiness Book of World Records, and the Encyclopedia of Guilty Pleasures that I reviewed just recently. 031 is books like the World Book Encyclopedia or Funk And Wagnalis. But 032-039 are all in another language. And unless we were in a large metropolitan area, which we are not, the odds of one of our Public libraries carrying such a work is slim. So, we skipped 032-039.
041 Not assigned or no longer used
042 Not assigned or no longer used
043 Not assigned or no longer used
044 Not assigned or no longer used
045 Not assigned or no longer used
046 Not assigned or no longer used
047 Not assigned or no longer used
048 Not assigned or no longer used
049 Not assigned or no longer used
Well, we can't read that which isn't there. However, the library in Hillsborough lists magazines in this section, with 041 being works like Time, Entertainment Weekly, and Guideposts, and 042-049 as foreign language magazines. So Jan and I have decided to buy a magazine in English and review it for category 041-045 and skip 046-050, unless
there is something in the 050's to read, since it involves materials in English.
050 General serials & their indexes
051 General serials & their indexes American
052 General serials & their indexes In English
053 General serials & their indexes In other Germanic languages
054 General serials & their indexes In French, Provencal, Catalan
055 General serials & their indexes In Italian, Romanian, Rhaeto-Romanic
056 General serials & their indexes In Spanish & Portuguese
057 General serials & their indexes In Slavic languages
058 General serials & their indexes In Scandinavian languages
059 General serials & their indexes In other languages
General Serials are like reading Fiction Magazines, like Ellery Queen or Weird Tales. So Jan and I will buy something and review 051-055's books, but skip the 056-060 book unless, the library has a 060 book which is in a different genre. However, if the Chapel Hill Library has books in the 051-055, we may decide to read something there instead of making a purchase.
060 General organization & museology
061 General organization & museology In North America
062 General organization & museology In British Isles In Englan
063 General organization & museology In central Europe In German
y 064 General organization & museology In France & Monaco
065 General organization & museology In Italy & adjacent territories
066 General organization & museology In Iberian Peninsula & adjacent islands
067 General organization & museology In eastern Europe In Soviet Union
068 General organization & museology In other areas
069 Museology (Museum science)
This is where it gets a little confusing. Our libraries in Orange County consider only newspapers for this section, while it's been said that other libraries include magazines in this category. So Jan and I will read a newspaper for 071-075. And skip 076-080 unless the library has a book in 080 that is available to read at our library.
070 News media, journalism, publishing
071 News media, journalism, publishing In North America
072 News media, journalism, publishing In British Isles In England
073 News media, journalism, publishing In central Europe In Germany
074 News media, journalism, publishing In France & Monaco
075 News media, journalism, publishing In Italy & adjacent territories
076 News media, journalism, publishing In Iberian Peninsula & adjacent islands
077 News media, journalism, publishing In eastern Europe In Soviet Union
078 News media, journalism, publishing In Scandinavia
079 News media, journalism, publishing In other languages ation chart
Hope this helps you in your journey to reading outside the box.
