What is a call number?

 

The library uses a classification system called the Dewey Decimal system. Library Search will show you the call number (sometimes known as classmark or shelfmark or spine number), based on Dewey Decimal, for physical books. Note the call number down and then check the shelves for that number.  Material is arranged on the shelves in numerical order.   A book will have a label on its spine with the relevant call number.
