Main Stacks Deck Directory

 

 

The most current Deck Directory can be found at the entrance to the main stacks.  Please ask for assistance at the circulation desk if you would like help locating material, or if you have any other questions.

Materials in the stacks, and all of the departmental libraries except the Music, Law, and Asian Libraries, are classified according to the Dewey Decimal Classification. Use the links below to locate call numbers and the corresponding decks in the stacks where those numbers are shelved.

If you would like to learn more about the Dewey Decimal Classification as it has been implemented in the Stacks, try this Dewey tutorial .
