39. Call Number
 A call number is a group of numbers and/or
letters put together to tell you where in the
library to find your book.
 Books (as well as journals and any materials
that accompany books) are arranged on the
shelf by call numbers.
 The call number is a unique identifier and is
created using the Dewey Decimal
Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal
System
 The rationale behind this alphanumeric
system is to classify books by subject both
broadly and specifically.
