SUNY Fredonia uses the Library of Congress Classification System (LCC) to assign call numbers to most print materials--books, periodicals, and music scores.
The Library of Congress Classification System is divided into large subject areas which are called "classes." All classes--and subclasses--begin with one, two, or three letters followed by a number which represents more specific aspects of a subject.
This page shows you how to read a call number and lists call number ranges for environmental studies materials.
Books on environmental science have call numbers starting with GE 1 and ending with GE 350:
| LC Call Numbers | Description |
|---|---|
| GE10 | Dictionaries. Encyclopedias |
| GE25 → 35 | Communication in Environmental Sciences |
| GE40 → 45 | Philosophy. Relation to Other Topics. Methodology |
| GE50 | History |
| GE70 → 90 | Environmental Education. Study & Teaching. Research |
| GE140 → 160 | Environmental Conditions. Environmental Quality. Environmental Indicators. Environmental Degradation |
| GE170 → 190 | Environmental Policy |
| GE195 → 199 | Environmentalism. Green Movement |
| GE220 → 240 | Environmental Justice |
| GE300 → 350 | Environmental Management |
These books are located on the first floor of the Carnahan-Jackson Center.
