COLON CLASSIFICATION
Colon classification (CC) is a library catalogue system developed by Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan. It was an early faceted (or analytico-synthetic) classification system. The first edition of colon classification was published in 1933, followed by six more editions. It is especially used in libraries in India.
What is a call number?
The call number of an item acts like a house's street address. It is a unique identifier that locates the item sequentially within a larger group of similar objects (much like the other houses on a block usually have a similar design, shape, size, etc).
Most books in the library are organized using the Library of Congress Classification system.
CDs, DVDs, and other items use a local classification system.
Many government documents use the Superintendent of Documents Classification System.
A number of items, notably art materials, some scores, and some other old materials continue to use the Dewey Decimal System
When you find an item in the catalog you want to use, you must make a note of the call number and either look for the item on a shelf or, if the item is located within closed stacks, request the item, either from a staff person at a desk, or using a remote-storage request form. In both latter cases you will need to provide us with the number.
