Call Number Guide for Waldo Library

Childrens' books have a different call number system called the Dewey Decimal Classification (Dewey Decimal example: 398.2 or FIC). Children's books can be found in the Children's Collection, 2nd Floor, Waldo Library, and in the Curriculum Enrichment Collection, Education Library.

Bound periodicals are also shelved by call number with the books in Waldo Library and the Archives. Bound periodicals are shelved separately by call number in the Education and Music Libraries.
