When I’ve been stuck as to what Dewey number to use, I’ve gone to OCLC Classify http://classify.oclc.org/classify2/ to get an idea where other libraries have put it.

Thanks I tried on the Library of Congress and I thought it said you had to be a publisher to get access.

As for the circulation system, I have never seen the Dewey # appear when inputting books.  I will try again.

Thanks so much.

If you have Follett for your circulation system, the correct Dewey number will appear in the call number field when you input a new title. Our library always adds the first 3 letters of the author's,last name too.
Many books have the Library of Congress cataloguing info on the backside of one of the first pages.
Lastly the you can search the Library of Congress site. If you're interested in this option, let me know. I'll e-mail you the URL. I don't have it in my phone.
Good luck!

As a new librarian I need to apply new nonfiction call numbers to new books.  What source do I use to apply the correct spine call number?

Need help as soon as possible.
