The Library

Tuesday I went to the library with my English comp class, and I was able to learn a lot. When I was in elementary school we had what was called the Dewey decimal system in order to check out books, and do some research. I really did not get a chance to experience this system because I was always one of the ones to look up information on the Internet, because at that time the library seemed so boring to me and I just did not feel like sitting in a quiet place for a long time doing research. While at the college library on Auburn Montgomery's campus, I was introduced to something called a call number. We were asked to type in our discourse communities so that when we meet tomorrow we will look for books based upon our dc's. I have not gotten a chance to test it out yet because our class will get a chance to do this tomorrow so once I get through I will be back to blog some more on this topic.
