The library uses Library of Congress Classification System to shelve (sort) our books. Library of Congress Classification arranges materials by subjects.
The first sections of the call number represent the subject of the book.
The letter-and-decimal section of the call number often represents the author's last name.
The last section of a call number is often the date of publication.
When you find a book in the catalog that you would like to look at or check out, write down the call number of the book and proceed to the stacks (book shelves) to locate the area where you can find the book with the corresponding call number. If you need help, ask the Reference librarian or the Circulation staff to help you.
