Call numbers in the Social Welfare Library
Call numbers in the library's collection are based on the Library of Congress system. See the library's guide on call numbers to understand how to read LC call numbers. Call numbers in our library run from A to Z but are concentrated in certain areas. Here's a rough guide to some of most common call numbers in our collection. For a complete guide, consult the Library of Congress classification outline.
Remember that browsing shelves can be a rewarding research technique. One purpose of call numbers is to group related material together on the shelves. If you find one book you're interested in, be sure to browse the surrounding shelves for similar books. Or use the table below to go directly to the call number area.
