Location Information 

Once you determine that the material is in the library and available, you can use the call number to find it on the shelf.  See the box on the left for information on finding materials by their call number.

Most materials in the Libraries use a call number system that combines letters and numbers.  Read these section by section:

Z713 .H447 2006

Z
The first section is all letters.  Read the first letters in alphabetical order:
A, B, BF, C, D... L, LA, LB, LC, M, ML, N, NA ..

713
Read the numbers immediately following the letter(s) as a whole number:
1, 2, 3, 45, 100, 101, 1000, 2000, 3000, 3400, 3485 ...
Occasionally this number will contain a decimal (without any additional letters in mid-number).  In this case, read it as it appears

.H447
A decimal should follow, then a combination of letters and numbers. Read the letter alphabetically, then read the number as a decimal:
.H447 = .447
.H52 = .52
Some call numbers have more than one of these lines.

2006
The last part is the year the book was published. Read in chronological order:
1985, 1991, 1992...
