  26. Understanding Call Numbers

  27. Library of Congress Call Numbers City College Library The Call Number on the spine of the book tells you where to find the book on the shelves. TR 178.83 .B35 1992

  28. Academic Libraries usually use the Library of Congress Classification System, not the Dewey Decimal system. City College Library The first line is shelved in alphabetical order. On the library shelves you’d find books with the call number HA shelved before HB, TR would be before TS, etc... TR 178.83 The second line is a real number. You’d find 1 before 2, and 178.83 before 178.9, etc...

  29. This line is both alphabetical and decimal. A number with .A-- would be found on the shelf before a number with .B--, B before C, etc…. But don’t forget this is a decimal number, so .B35 would be found on the shelf after .B214 and before .B4 City College Library TR 178.83 .B35 1967 This number is usually the date of the publication of the book. 1967 would be found on the shelf before 1968, 1968 before 1969, etc...

  48. Principles of Searching

  49. Boolean Logic, What is it? Boolean Logic was created in 1888 by mathematician George Boole. Boolean Logic consists of several logical operators. These operators consist of the terms AND, OR, and NOT.

  50. Where and Why it Should be Used Boolean logic can be used when searching on the City College libraries databases and the Internet. This particular search technique allows you to broaden and narrow your search so that you receive a higher amount of relevant information.
