Example:

The call number for this book can be found in the catalog record. It is the long string of numbers and letters next to the "Available at Collins Library" text. For this book the call number is HQ1090 .I58 2007.

• Start with the top line. It is in alphabetical order. Ex. HQ
• The second line is a whole number.  Ex. 1090
• The third line is  a combination of a letter and numbers. Read the letter alphabetically. Read the number as a decimal, eg. Y.23, Y.34, Y.344, Y.4, etc. Ex. .I58 (*Some call numbers have more than one combination letter-number line.)
• The last line is the year the book was published. Read in chronological order. Ex. 2001, 2005, 2010, 2015, etc. Ex. 2007

Use the library map to figure out where in the building the book is located.
