How to Read an Lc Call Number
At the Porter Henderson Library, books are shelved co-ordinate to the Library of Congress (LC) Classification system. Each volume in the library has a unique "phone call number", which is a combination of letters and numbers. A telephone call number is like an address; it describes the exact location of the book and tells you where to observe the volume on the shelves. Information technology also tells you something about the subject matter of the book. Each call number may incorporate three, 4 or 5 lines.
Line one: Defines the general discipline class and subclass [B = Philosophy/Religion; BF = Psychology]
Line 2: Nomenclature number - defines a narrower subtopic within the specified class [1078 = Dreams]
Line 3: Cutter number - represents the author'southward proper noun or the championship of the work [.S5 = Ella Freeman Sharpe]
Line four: Publication Yr [1978 - Usually the year the book was published, but could be the copyright date]
Line 5: Re-create number [c.i - If a library has multiple copies of the same book, these will be identified past a copy number.]
LC call numbers are read from left to right, and from top to bottom. The letters at the commencement of the call number are alphabetical. The numbers immediately following are in basic numerical order, i.due east., five then 6, l is afterward 49 and earlier 51, and 100 is after 99. The cutter numbers are sorted first by the letter and then past the number as a decimal.
Location Prefixes
Some telephone call numbers are preceded by a location prefix indicating that the detail is shelved in a specific location and may take loan restrictions. For example:
REF - Reference detail located in the Reference Collection in the southeast corner of the Learning Commons on the Commencement flooring of the Library (non-circulating).
RAD - Reference item located on the corner of the Enquiry Aid Desk (non-circulating).
Juv - Item located in the Juvenile Collection in the southwest corner of the Basement of the Library
