Library of Congress classification schedule
Books in O'Grady Library, with the exception
of those in Curriculum Resources, are classified and shelved according to the
Library of Congress Classification system. An LC call number is assigned to a
book based on its subject, so books examining the same topic should be shelved
together. This page offers a summary
of the LC classification schedule. For more details, see the
Library of Congress classification outline.
See locating a call number for help finding LC call numbers on the shelves.
