Question: What do the locations mentioned in the catalog mean?

The Library uses the Library of Congress classification system to arrange its monograph collection and this system governs the location of material in the Library. It is an alphanumeric system that is used to arrange books in subject order. Most classification numbers consist of three parts:

KF	alphanumeric - indicates the general subject area
1500	whole number - indicates the specific subject area
.W53	decimal - identifies the specific book

The general collections are housed on the second and third floors of the Library.
