What is a call number?

Answer

Call numbers are comprised of a combination of letters and numbers that directly corresponds to a bibliographic item’s subject/topic, author and year of publication. Call numbers are located on the spine label of print material. Call numbers correspond to an organizational system used to identify and physically house bibliographic items. The call number provides a physical address for a material on the Library's shelves. Bryant & Stratton College libraries use Library of Congress Classification System call numbers.
