Books on this subject in the library can be found by browsing the shelves using the Library of Congress Classification scheme. Listed below is the main class the books would fall under (for example - H for Social Science or Q for Science) and then the subclass (for example - HC Economic history and conditions) and call number ranges (for example - HC 10 through 1085).

Look on the spine of the book to match up the call number listed in the catalog. See a librarian at the reference desk or contact us directly for any help with finding books or materials on your area of interest.
