Call Numbers

What is a Call Number?

Call numbers are a way to make books easier to find in the library. At WA, we use the Dewey Decimal Classification system, an alphanumeric system which groups books by subject categories.

The call number(#) is listed under the title of a book in the catalog and directs you to the shelf where you will find the book. 

The spine of the book will show the call# printed on a label near the bottom.  

Here is how that works:
