Gladys Marcus Library
Call numbers
Like most U.S. academic libraries, the Gladys Marcus Library
catalogs materials using the Library of Congress
classification system
to organize our collections by subject area. The
complete call number given for an
item, a combination of letters and numbers (e.g., PS 3525
.I96 G6) indicates that specific item. Since items are
arranged by subject, books on related topics often have
similar call numbers.
[For more information about the LC classification system and
call numbers used to locate materials,

Locations within the Library
Within the 3 floors (4th, 5th & 6th floors) of the Library, there are many
locations / collections, such as Main, Reference Desk, and
Reference
Stacks. When finding the call number for an item using the
StyleCat
Online Catalog be sure to write down the
floor( location), collection & the complete call number
for each item. For example:
4th fl. Art Reference TT509 .D473 1995
4th fl. Reference Trade_E HC427.95 .D65 2005
5th fl. Main Stacks PR9499.3.S38 S83 1994
5th fl. Circulation Desk Video TT505 .C55 03/11/03 c.1
Missing items
If you cannot find an item on the shelf where it should be
located, first try looking on nearby shelves, book carts,
tables or by the photocopy machines; another library user
may have inadvertently reshelved the item incorrectly or
left it where it was last used. If you still cannot locate
the item, report it to the service desk on the floor where
the item should be (Reference Desk on the 4th floor,
Circulation Desk on the 5th floor, Periodicals on the 6th
floor). A library employee will do a search to ascertain the
status of the material, and will contact you if the item is
found.
