CIRCULATION BOOKS

Circulation books are arranged on the selves according to the Library of Congress Classification system. Call numbers begin with letters, e.g., BF, DS, E, QA, QP followed by 3 or four numbers plus additional decimal numbers if needed. The last set is a combination of letters and numbers, e.g.:
