Here's what I have so far on homemade Dewey Decimal charts. I also found some interesting stuff online. The first two sites, obviously, can be changed, 500 to 600 six to seven, or whatever you are looking for. Many people sent me the Jan Brett site and on Dec. 30 someone sent instructions to LM_Net for adding more text to the Jan Brett posters. Below the websites I copied some useful things folks sent me. When I receive the info promised for next week I'll try to remember to post it. I tried to attach what I had made up so far, but LM_NET would not allow my attachment so it is copy/pasted on at the bottom of this. I plan to tinker with it a little more, in terms of what I have a lot of and what people ask me for a lot, then enlarge and post. I like the poster board inserts (below) too. In my "spare time" I'd like to do this too. http://snoopy.tblc.lib.fl.us/fsc/cataloging/500s.html http://www.austinschools.org/mills/six.htm http://www.eastern.edu/library/www/Topbar/books/Class/dewey.html Jan Brett has some at: http://www.janbrett.com/library_signs/library_signs_main.htm the rest of this will be sent to me next week-I hope- and I will try to remember to post it. I like this! 001-399 001.9 Aliens,UFOs, unknown 032 Guinness records 292 Myths 317.3 Almanacs 327.1 Spies 358 Military machines 363.7 Environment & recycling 387.2 Shipwrecks 394 Holidays Yes, I made Dewey signs out of poster board and laminated it. I cut the poster board so it would slide between books with about 3 inch overage. This way I could move the sign as the books shifted. I put the Dewey number, the subject category and a PICTURE of the category. My rationale was it would help non-readers find dinosaurs, sharks, drawing books, etc. I don't have a template. There are black line picture books available with lots of "stuff" to use in newsletters, etc. That's where I got the pictures for the signs. Rough shape of poster board. _________________________ | \ | :)\ | \ | | | Dewey| | Subject| ---------------------------- I put the picture in the sliced off corner, the subject across the bottom, the dewey number above the subject. REMEMBER to put the info on BOTH sides if you use this idea. >> my draft is below.
