The books in the library are organized according to Library of Congress subject headings. This means books are organized by subject rather than by title or author.
Below is a list of the relevant LOC call numbers. You can use them to locate in the library the area where books on a topic are generally located. All books whose call numbers start with these letters will be in the same area of the library.
To find a print book, first identify the correct section of the library by checking the location of the book. Most books are in the "Main Collection" which is on the 3rd floor.
