Be sure to check the location statement that is just in front of the call number in the WorldCat Discovery record. Many resources were relocated when the School of Education moved in summer 2018 to South Campus, 4250 Haughey Ave. As signs note, South Campus also includes Christian Theological Seminary.
Most Children’s and Young Adult fiction books have a call number starting with PZ7 and are in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. Other literature related books have call numbers starting with a P, such as PZ8.3 for stories in rhyme, PZ10.3 for animal stories, PZ7.7 for graphic novels, and PN6110 for poetry collections. The non-fiction books are organized by topic.
