Books and other materials in the ORU library are primarily organized using Library of Congress (LC) call numbers, a classification system according to subject. Books about similar subjects will have a similar call number. So, once you locate a book on the shelves, books to the right and left may also be of interest to you.

There are 21 major subject categories, or divisions, in the LC call number system, represented by English letters.

The first letter of the call number represents a major category or subject. For example:
B—Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, and Theology

The second letter of a call number represents the specific sub-section within the general subject area. For example, materials with call numbers beginning with "BR" are on the subject of Church History, a subdivision under B (Philosophy, Psychology, Religion...)

The first and second letters of a call number represent only the first line on the call number label. Additional numbers and letters that further define a book are usually included in the call number.

For more detailed lists see:
Modified LC Classification Outline as used by ORU
• Complete Library of Congress Classification Outline

Shelved booksEach item in the ORU Library has its own unique call number on a label that is usually taped on the spine of the book (or other item).

Search the Library Catalog to Get a Book's Call Number
To find an item in the library you need to know its call number. If you have a topic, or know the author's name or part of a title you can do a Keyword, Author, or Title Keyword search, respectively.

Type Revell Dictionary then click GO.

  • A new window will open with the record for The Revell Bible Dictionary.
  • Note the location, call number and status.
    This is a Reference book (LRC-R) available for library use only. It cannot be checked.

How to Read a Call Number
Call numbers are read one row at a time.
Example: The Revell Bible Dictionary, call number BS440.R484 1990

BS
Class Number — Read alphabetically.
B (major category) = Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, Theology;

Subdivision (numbers further define the book's subject) — Read as a whole number or a mixed decimal. 440 = Bible Dictionaries

.R484
Cutter number — Read digit by digit as a decimal fraction.
1990
Other designation — Volume, part, or copy numbers; Publication date
LRC-R

Call numbers do not always have the same number of lines, or the same amount of information. Therefore, shelf arrangement is by the general rule of "nothing before something."
