How call numbers work

All print or paper copies of books in the library are assigned a call number, usually found on the book spine. The call number represents what the book is about and acts like the book's address on the library's shelves or stacks. Because books on the shelves are arranged in call number order, you will find books on similar subjects shelved near each other.

At the Camosun Library, we use the Library of Congress (LC) classification system.

LC call numbers are made up of letters and numbers and look something like this:

QM 8923 W6 L36 2014 c.3

Read the call number from left to right. The first part of a call number, QM 8923, consists of a combination of one or two letters and a number that indicates a specific subject area.

The next part, W6 L36, identifies a specific title within the range of books on that topic, 12014 is the date of publication, and c.3 indicates it is the third copy in the library.
