LC Shelf Numbers for Mathematics
LC shelf number commonly is called "call number" in the library profession. It is a number assigned to a book for shelving and inventory control purposes. LC stands for the Library of Congress. Maxwell Library's call numbers are based on the Library of Congress' classification scheme, which is a subject based alphanumeric number system. This system has been widely used by the academic libraries across this country. This means that you can use the same subject base numbers listed below to locate the desired books in Maxwell Library or any other libraries that also use this classification schem. The following base numbers will allow you to browse the book shelves of the Mathematics collection located on the east side of the third floor of Maxwell Library.
