You will find the call number attached to or written on the spine of each book. The Alkek Library uses Library of Congress call numbers that uses letters and numbers to arrange books by subject.

Reading a call number
Books are arranged on the shelves by their Library of Congress call numbers. You can think of this number as an address for the book. Break it down and read it one line at a time as follows:
Line 1: Call numbers are arranged first in alphabetical order. All books with call numbers that start with LC will be between L and LD.
Line 2: Within the LC call numbers, books are arranged in number order. LC 5131 will be between LC 5000 and LC 5150
Line 3: The last part of the call number consists of a letter and a number. The letters are read in alphabetical order. Read the numbers as decimal numbers, not whole numbers, so .T75 is read as T.75 -- LC 5131 .T75 is between LC 5131 .T70 and LC 5131 .T8
