Useful Classmarks
The shelfmark (or classmark) will tell you where to find an item on the library shelves. Look out for the shelfmark on the library catalogue record. We use the Dewey system which works like this:
Books are shelved numerically digit by digit according to the number on the spine label,340.3 is shelved before 340.31 which is shelved before 340.2
Within each subject books are shelved alphabetically according to the author or first word of the title, so 340 SMI [Author is Smith] is shelved before 340.5 WHI [Author is White].
