Locating Call Numbers

Call numbers appear on the spine of each book and in the library's catalogs. The catalog call number directs the user to the book's location on the shelf. Call numbers are subject-based, so, as seen below, all books with a call number in the 200s will be related to Religion.

The call number is shown below the book's search results entry, and has been highlighted using a red box. Its call number is 255.3 F819, 2003.
