An+earthquake+in+the+library

Oh no! There was an earthquake, and all the books have fallen off the shelves! All of the books are in huge piles, and they’re all mixed up. Volunteers will be arriving to help, but they will not know what to do. They know there is some logical way to sort the books out, but they don’t know what it is.

You and your teammates have been called in to create a digital handbook that will help them. It is up to you to tell the volunteers what the Dewey Decimal System is, who developed it, why it is useful, and how it is organised.

Your team will create a handbook to explain the Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC) in a logical way to the volunteers. You will use Keynote to produce your handbook on your iPads. You will include your own illustrations and/or CC licenced images that you have referenced in your handbook.

The handbook should include the following:
 * A title page
 * A table of contents
 * A short biography of Melvil Dewey
 * A brief history of how the Dewey Decimal Classification System was developed
 * One chapter describing each of the ten major classes of DDC
 * A closing chapter which tells why DDC is helpful to us
 * A bibliography
