    • Using the Dewey Decimal System

    Correct Answer
    A. Using the Dewey Decimal System
    Explanation
    Non-fiction books are put in order in the library using the Dewey Decimal System. This system categorizes books based on subject matter and assigns them a unique numerical code. The books are then arranged on the shelves in numerical order, making it easy for library patrons to locate specific books within their areas of interest. This system allows for efficient organization and retrieval of non-fiction books, ensuring that they can be easily accessed by library users.

    • Three days

    Correct Answer
    A. Two weeks
    Explanation
    Library books can usually be kept for two weeks. This is a common borrowing period in many libraries, allowing readers enough time to read and return the book without incurring late fees. This timeframe strikes a balance between giving readers sufficient time to enjoy the book and ensuring that the book is available for other patrons to borrow.

    Where can you search the OPAC from?

    • Just the library

    • The computers in D’Block

    • All the computers in school

    Correct Answer
    A. All the computers in school
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All the computers in school" because the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) is a system that allows users to search for library materials, such as books, journals, and other resources, available in the library. Since it is mentioned that the OPAC can be searched from "All the computers in school," it implies that the library has made the catalog accessible on all computers within the school premises, not just limited to the library or computers in a specific block.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Approximately how many books does the library have?

    • 10,000

    • 236,987

    • 15,500

    Correct Answer
    A. 15,500
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 15,500 because it is the only option that falls within a reasonable range for the number of books in a library. 10,000 seems too low and 236,987 seems too high. Therefore, 15,500 is the most plausible answer.
