[ISLMA-Share] Call number training

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I use the address analogy. Just as your address tells people where to find
your house, call numbers are the address for the book. I also remind them
that if they can count they can find a book using Dewey. I also label every
shelf  and the shelf end-caps with what you will find there.
