Where can I find call numbers that begin with a Q.?

The Q.---  refers to over-sized items and not a location. The Funk ACES Library does not shelve these separately.  When looking for an item with a call number that begins with Q., ignore the Q. and look for the numbers following it. For example, you can find Q630.1JO shelved at 630.1JO, and Q.50P418 shelved at .50P418.

Back to top


Where can I find call numbers that begin with a C.?

In the Funk ACES Library, we shelve books whose call numbers begin with C at the beginning of our collection. The C is treated as three zeros (.000) before the first number of letter.  You can locate these books before items with the call number .001. For example, you can find C5P418 shelved at .0005P418.

Back to top


Where can I find call numbers that begin with an F.?

These are atlases or "folios" and are located on the shelves in between the "Current Periodicals" and "ACES Reference" or on the small free-standing table across from these sections, on the west side of the building.

Back to top


Where can I find call numbers that begin with an A.?

The A at the beginning of a call number represents .016. If you are trying to locate a book with call number A, you should look on the shelves where the .016's are stored. For example, you can find A.050P418 shelved at 016.050P418.

If further assistance is needed, please inquire at either the circulation or reference desks.

Where can I find call numbers that begin with an B.?

 

The B stands for bibliography and and book with this call number can be found after 919.

If further assistance is needed, please inquire at either the circulation or reference desks.
