A combination of letters and numbers assigned to each item in the library. The call number allows you to locate your document on the library shelves. High school and public libraries are most likely to use the Dewey Decimal classification system. College and university libraries usually follow the Library of Congress classification system. In both systems an item receives a call number that represents the subject, author and sometimes the publication date of that item. A label with the call number is located on the spine of a book. For information on how to read a call number see UnlockingResearch. Examples of books and their corresponding Dewey Decimal call numbers Complete History of the World 909 C737 What is Occupy?
