Children's Literature

Call Numbers

Call numbers tell you where a book is shelved.

In the Curriculum Materials Center, two types of call numbers are used.

  • Children's Literature is shelved in the Library of Congress Classification which groups titles by subject matter. Click here for more details.
  • Since Juvenile Fiction is assigned the call number PZ7, you will find a large number of books in the CMC with that call number. The shelves are also labeled "Fiction by Author, A-Z" to facilitate browsing.
  • The fiction PZ7 picture books are shelved separately because of their size.
  • The Textbook collection has its own special arrangement described in the CMC Research Guide.
