Finding Books

Library of Congress System
• Organizes knowledge into 21 broad categories.
• The 21 categories (labeled A to Z, but missing I, O, W, X and Y) are further subdivided by adding one or two additional letters and a set of numbers.
• The first letter of a Library of Congress (LC) call number indicates the general subject area.
• The second letter indicates the specific subject section within the general category.
