Call Number: Each item in a library has its own "address", so it can be found easily. Library of Congress call numbers, made up of letters and numbers, are used by most colleges, including Xavier's. When two different college libraries have the same item, it will have the same address in both libraries. Each line of a call number has a specific meaning.
For example, if you see this record in the catalog:
Call Number: RT42 .M44 2023
You would read the call number like this:
RT = Nursing
42 = general works about nursing
M44 = Author number (notice the author's last name starts with M)
2015 = Date of publication
