Q. How are books arranged in the library?

Buswell Library uses the Library of Congress Classification System to organize the books on its shelves according to topic. Not only can you then find a specific book if you have a call number for it, but you can browse around that number to find other books on the same topic. Below is an overview of the classification system at the broadest level. Click on any subject area below for a more detailed breakdown.
