Based on The Library of Congress ClassificationUnderstanding Call Numbers
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
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.
example:
Ref AG243 .G87 1992
The Ref prefix indicates that this book is shelved in the Reference Collection.
