Call numbers
Each item in a library collection is classified in a subject area by some classification system. These call numbers are placed on the spine of the book to locate it in the stacks. Call numbers are entered on the records in MNCAT to help you find the book. Most of our newer books have Library of Congress call numbers, a combination of letters and numbers (e.g., PQ 1756 .I15 1990). Older books have Dewey call numbers which start with numbers (e.g. 978.883 B221de).
