The Library uses the Library of Congress Classification system (LC). To find the LC call number for a book that you need, search the Library catalog.

Use the filters to view print books held by Stevens. Print books held by Stevens will include the call number in the record, which you can use to locate the book based on where it is in relation to the books around it.

The book seen in the image below is located in the Circulating Books Collection on the second floor.

The call number QH645.5 .S54 2018, which tells us:

  • It is located in the QH section. After Q and QA...comes QH. After QH1, QH2, QH3...comes QH645.5
  • The S in S54 refers in this case to the first author (Michael P. Sheetz).
  • 2018 refers to the date it was published.

If a book is shown as being in the Textbook Reserves or Course Reserves, those are held behind the Circulation Desk on the first floor. Bring the call number to the Circulation Desk and a staff member will retrieve the book for you.

If you have trouble locating a book, please ask a librarian.
