Number Guides
Items in the various collections of the Alvin Sherman Library are
arranged on the shelf using different classification and call number
systems. Most items are shelved according to call numbers from the Library
of Congress Classification System. This includes most of the circulating
collection located on the third and fourth floors and the reference
collection on the second floor. The popular, children's and young adult
collections use the Dewey Decimal Classification System. Popular fiction
is arranged in alphabetical order by author, while all periodicals are
arranged in alphabetical order by title. CDs and cassettes are catalogued
by the ANSCR system (Alpha Numeric System for Classification of Recordings).
