Search in the Scotty catalog, Melvyl, or the Library of Congress web site to obtain a proper call number. The call number may also be listed on the reverse side of the title page, under Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data. If you cannot find an appropriate call number for the material, please give to the Reserves Coordinator.
