For individual research help, schedule an appointment to meet with a librarian.
Call Numbers are basically a book's address. NOVA Libraries uses the Library of Congress Call Number System, which is the same system used in most college and university libraries. It organizes books by subject using an alpha numeric code.
When you find a book in the Library Catalog, look for and write down its Call Number. E.g., QA29.H88 D43 2007.
The books in this library are organized according to the Library of Congress Classification System, which separates information into 21 main classes (i.e., subjects).
