Crerar Library Call Number Locations

Call Number Locations by Floor

These tables show the approximate location in Crerar library for items based on their call number.  For information on browsing the stacks by subject, see Call Number Browsing below.

Biomedical Journals

Bound Biomedical periodicals are shelved alphabetically by title on the second floor. Please disregard the call number.

QH-Z monographs are shelved by call number after the journal section.

Dissertations

University of Chicago dissertations and theses are grouped together at the start of the lower level stacks.

Dewey Decimal 000-999

Books with Dewey Decimal System call numbers are shelved on the lower level.  Many books in the Dewey Collection have an L preceding the call number indicating the item is a larger than standard size, but most of these are shelved with the regular sized material.  When an A appears to the left of a Dewey Decimal call number, the item may be shelved in the oversize stacks along the east side. Please check both the regular and oversize shelves for items over 13" in height. Especially large items may be in our "warehouse" (room 018). For assistance please see staff at the Circulation Desk.
