Introduction to Shelving Exercises

Below are links to individual call number exercises. On each page, there is a bookshelf and books that need to be shelved in call number order on the shelf. To move a book just left click on it and drag it to where you think it goes on the shelf.

When you think you have the books in the correct call number order, click the "Check the order" button. If you're not correct, review the basic rules and try again.  Then go on and try shelving books in another call number.

        The exercises on this page are intended to be used with older browsers, such as Netscape Navigator 4.0.
