Hi everyone. I feel dumb for asking this question. Do any of you know what
Dewey Decimal number I should look under for books about sales and/or
marketing? I seem to get totally turned around when I try to understand the
Dewey Decimal system. I know how the system works, in theory. Using it is
another matter. The only books I know how to find are cookbooks. They are in
641.5. There are certain subject terms you're supposed to search for, and I
usually end up leaving my library's web site feeling lost and frustrated. I
want to find some titles in our local library to help with marketing and
sales for our small business. Without knowing some titles in the collection,
I have to use their Dewey subject system. If I could see, I could just
wander around the library until I find what I need, or I could ask a
librarian. The web site doesn't work that way. :( I wish I could bribe my
library to use Amazon's system so I could find things.
