What would be the quickest and easiest way for Tay to find similar books in the school library?

a.Look up the term "United Nations" in an online database
b.Search Amazon.com for other books with similar titles
c.Browse through other titles on the same shelf in the stacks
d.Check the "References" section of the Wikipedia entry on the United Nations

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:

c.Browse through other titles on the same shelf in the stacks

Explanation:

In a library, books are normally organized physically taking into account the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) that arranges books by number, alphabet in title and author. In this way, it is possible to know that normally, all the books about the same topic are placed in the same shelf or near by. Therefore, in Tay's case, it would be really probable that he will find related books to the United Nations topic close to the reference he was interested in.
