the Call Number of the book. Summar Library catalogs books using the Library of
Congress Classification System. The first letter(s) will help you find the
general area. The beginning of the Book Stacks shelves start at the right and
move to the left. There are call number ranges on the end of the rows to guide
you.
If the book I am looking for is not on the shelf what should I do?
First double-check to make sure you are in the correct location site (ie
Reference, Book Stacks, Oversize). Then make sure you are looking at the correct
call number area. If you are still unable to locate the book, please see the
staff member at the circulation desk.
