What does the “B” stand for in the catalog?

April 24, 2015 By

  • Different letters and numbers, known as “call numbers”, are used to help you find the location of a certain item within the library.
  • For example, “B” stands for “Biography.” Our biography collection is alphabetized by the name of the person the book is written about, rather than by the name of the author. This makes it easy to browse the collection by the person’s name. Adult Biographies are located in the bay window area and are shelved in a U shape on the shelves that line the outside walls.
  • Please visit the Information & Reference Services desk if you need help locating materials.
