Locating Library Materials in the Stacks

You need three pieces of information from library search to find a book or other physical item:

  • Library:  Woodruff Library is designated as "GENERAL" or "GENERAL LIBRARIES"

  • Call Number:  System of letters and numbers that group materials by subject.  Woodruff Library uses the Library of Congress (LC) call number system.   How to "Read" a Call Number

  • Location: many Woodruff Library materials have a location of "STACKS" (library lingo for "book floors)." Our call number guide (also available around elevators and service points) tells you what call numbers reside on each Stacks floor.
