How do I find a book on the shelves?
- Our books are organized by subject using the Library of Congress (LC) Classification System
- Feel free to ask anyone at the Library's Service Desk on the 4th floor or any librarian to help you find your book
What are those white labels on the spine of all the books?
- The white labels on the spine of the book displays its Call Number. A Call Number tells you where a book it is located in the Library.
- Each number and letter refers to details about that book's subject and it's title and author.
- Call Numbers start with letters that match up with subject categories.
- A Call Numbers beginning with letters:
- American History begtins with E.
- Think of E like the name of street you live on.
- The combination of E with other numbers and letters gives you the shelf "address" of a specific book.
