Exploring Dewey: 000s

The zero-hundreds section (000s) is for general books.  Encyclopedias have too much information to be put into just one subject.  Books that do not have their own section are also placed here, like computers or UFOs.

Title: Book by Karen Brookfield.

If you like computers, read this book to experience different types of careers that revolve around the use of them.  A person could become a forensic scientist, a robot designer, or a video game designer.
