Parts of a book Spine Cover Table of contents Index Glossary

The spine of a book – The spine of a book is the part you see when it is on the shelf. The spine of a book helps hold your book together and keep it strong just like the spine of your body helps hold you upright.

Spine of several books and the spine of the human body

The cover of the book - The cover is the outside of a book. There is usually a front cover, a back cover, and the part in between (on the outside) called the spine.

Book Cover This is an image of the cover of a book read by 7th grade students in the Lansing School District

The Table of Contents of a book The table of contents of a book tells you where the main sections of the book are located. In many books, the sections are called “chapters”.

Table of Contents The table of contents tells where you find things in a book. It usually gives chapter titles and page numbers as well.

Index of a book The index lists the pages where you find specific information. It is in the back of the book.

Index of a book This is the index of a book on the subject of space and space structures.

Glossary of a book – a list of words (sometimes difficult or specialized) with their definitions, often placed at the back of a book. A specialized mini-dictionary in the back!

June, 2004 This PowerPoint has been created by me (Claudette Curl) for a technology class at MSU (CEP 810) and as a “thank you” to the library media specialists who hosted my (Claudette’s) Masters Practicum. This is meant to be used as a tool by students and staff alike, in whatever way best suits the needs of the school. This is free for educational use and is not to be sold or reused without my (Mrs. Curl’s) consent. Students are often absent from school or need review or reinforcement of policies in the classroom and around the school. This is true in the library media center as well. This StAIR is designed for students to use alone, as an electronic orientation, or to use as review of many very basic terms, policies, and principles. Educators find that many students who are reluctant to ask questions or admit that they don’t know their way around the library, are very willing to work on the computer and familiarize themselves via this electronic medium. As designer and creator of this orientation, I hope that students and staff alike find this helpful and fun! Best of luck to you all. Enjoy! -- Mrs. Curl
