Step 2. Circulating Books:
Information on the human body can be found in the 600’s area of the Dewey Decimal section. There are several books about the human body that contain sections or chapters on the endocrine system. Remember, you may have to look in the table of contents or index of the book to find out where information on the endocrine system is, unless the entire book is about the endocrine system. Besides “endocrine system,” you should also look up the names of individual glands like pancreas or adrenal, or the word “hormones.”
