Library of Congress Call Numbers

Most books in the SPU Library are arranged by the Library of Congress Call Number system. This system divides all knowledge into 21 basic classes, each identified by a letter of the alphabet.  

When call numbers begin with the same letter, look next to the number line. Books are ordered using whole numbers on this line. For example:

Example of call number order: F3, F21, F221, F2021, F3021

When the top two lines are identical, look to the third line. Books are first ordered alphabetically; books with the same letter in the third line are then arranged by decimal number (not whole number.) The following call numbers are in correct order:

Example of call number order: PN70 .P441, PN6231 .E29, PN6231 .E295, PN6231 .F44
