UAEU Libraries - Library of Congress Classification System: What Call Numbers Tell Us

In this guide, you will learn the Library of Congress Classification System's deciphering to efficiently find books for your research.

What is a Call Number?

Each book in the library has a unique call number.
A call number is like an address: it tells us where the book is located in the library.                                                                            Call numbers appear on the spines of books and journals and in the library's catalog.
 


*Note that the same call number can be written from top-to-bottom or left to right.
