Q. What is the name of the classification system the library uses to organize books?

The Consortium Library uses the Library of Congress (LOC) classification and call number system to organize books and videos. Journals and government documents do not use this system. Journals are alphabetized by journal title and government documents use the SuDoc System.  

We recommend using the Library Catalog to find the specific call number for an item to locate it in the Consortium Library. If you need any help finding an item, you can find assistance at the reference desk on the first floor underneath the "Ask Us" sign.
