Q. What is a call number? How do I use it to find a book?

Call numbers are combinations of letters and/or numbers that indicate a book's location in the Library. Walker Library uses two classification systems:

• Library of Congress (2nd floor of the Main Collection)
• Dewey Decimal System (3rd and 4th floors of the Main Collection)

Please reference our Call Numbers page to see a subject breakdown for each system.

Note: The Curriculum Collection on the 3rd Floor uses multiple methods to organize their materials. Curriculum Desk Assistants can help you with any questions.
