Finding Background Info in Books

Academic and research libraries typically use Library of Congress Classification (LCC) to organize their print materials, which means books on the same subject should be next to or near each other on the shelf. This information can be used to find books in person or via the Library Catalog.

Example LCC call number ranges:

  • G149-180 Travel. Voyages and travels (General)
    • G154.9-155.8 Travel and state. Tourism
  • GV1-1860 Recreation. Leisure
  • TX901-946.5 Hospitality industry. Hotels, clubs, restaurants, etc. Food service
  • TX950-953 Taverns, barrooms, saloons
