How to Read a Call Number

A call number is like an address - it tells where the book is located in the library.  Read call number top-to-bottom, line by line


Sample Call Number:
LB
2395
.C65
1991


First Line: read in alphabetical order. Example: LB before LC

Second Line: read as a whole number. Example: 2395 before 2396

Third Line: read the letter alphabetically. Read the number as a decimal. Example: .C6499 before .C65

Last Line: can be publication date, volume or copy number

 

Think. Learn. Succeed.
