Call Numbers
Understanding Call Numbers
Call numbers appear on the spine of the books. Once you find the book you are looking for in the catalog, you'll see a field like this:
| Location: | Stacks (A-K call numbers shelved on 2nd floor; L-Z on 3rd) |
|---|---|
| Call Number: | LB2395 .C65 1991 |
| Number of Items: | 1 |
| Status: | Not Checked Out |
Write down the entire call number and go to the floor that has the starting letter. In this case, L is on the third floor.
How do you read call numbers?
