Call Numbers/Library of Congress Classification System
If you want to know where the books you need are in the library, a quick way of finding out is to type in Google, or the search engine of your choice, your subject and then the words ‘library of congress classification.’ This will often give you online resources as well as the numbers you need to locate the relevant material in the library.
