Have you ever wondered how library books are assigned their places on the shelves? Did you know that the call number -- the number placed on the spine of the book -- is a code which provides valuable information about the book?

This page is an introduction to understanding and using library call numbers.

The Northeast Lakeview, like many academic libraries in the United States, uses Library of Congress Classification for call numbers. This system uses a combination of letters and numbers to arrange materials by subjects.

What are call numbers for?

Each book in the library has a unique call number. A call number is like an address: it tells us where the book is located in the library.

Call numbers appear

Note that the same call number can be written from top-to-bottom, or left-to-right.

Reading Call Numbers

Putting Call Numbers in Shelf Order

To understand how call numbers are put in order in Library of Congress Classification, again look at each section of the call number.

 

What does the call number mean?

Remember that 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.
• And, as you recall, the last section of a call number is often the date of publication.
