Use textbooks and reference books to answer background questions. These types of questions are broad and when answered provide basic foundational knowledge. Background questions often begin with "what" or "when".
Examples:
The NSCC Library uses the Library of Congress Classification System for call numbers. The system utilizes a combination of letters and numbers to arrange materials by subject on the shelves.
