Organization: The library is organized by two methods. One for fiction and one for nonfiction.
The fiction is organized by genre. We have all of our historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and graphic novels in separate areas.
The nonfiction is organized by the Dewey Decimal System. All nonfiction has a number on the side. This number is corresponds with a subject.
Searching the Library's Catalog:
Print books contain information not available in a digital method. And even with the Internet, there are still many people that prefer using print books to research. Print books are portable, organized, don’t need a power source to use. They contain easy access points like an index or table of contents. When using library catalogs, search your keywords. Library catalogs do not work like Google! The more specific and the less keywords you search, the better. Avoid punctuation. Our catalog only has around 7,000 items and the search engine only searches through titles, authors, subjects, and summaries. If one keyword doesn’t work, use another word that is similar to it. Keep trying. If you find the perfect book, it’s well worth the extra effort.
Using Follett’s Destiny Quest:
Print books are found through the library catalog: Destiny Quest, and are cataloged according to the Dewey Decimal System. The “call number” found on the search result is the same as what you’ll find on the spine label of the book. Some items in the library are arranged according to shop. We also have a separate biography and fiction section. The web address for Destiny is montytech.follettdestiny.com. You can also reach this page by going through the library website off the main page for the high school: montytech.net then clicking on Curriculum, then Library/Media Center. E-books are accessible also through Destiny Quest. After your keyword search, Destiny Quest will lead you to one of our two e-book websites: Gale Virtual Reference Library or Follett Shelf.
