At the Hajvery library, spine label bears four things for example:

R Row (1)
58.4 (2)
HEL-E (3)
20612 (4)

Row (1) is the indication of section like R stands for reference section, T stands for textbooks, and W. B. stands for world bodies section etc. Books of general collection section have no such mark it means that these can be borrowed and others can’t.

Row (2) is the classification number, which we have assigned from Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). Its arrangement is in ascending order from 000-999.

Row (3) is the indication of Authors or Bookmark. The author mark is combination of, first three characters of the author’s last name and firs character of title of the book (avoiding the, a, an). In the above example title of the book is “Essential manager’s manual” written by “Robert Heller”. We took “HEL” from author’s last name and “E” from the title of the book. So the complete author mark of the book will be “HEL-E”. In case of absence of personal author e.g. (editor, translator, compiler etc.) we use first three letters of the title of both.

Author mark or bookmark helps us in arranging the books on the shelves. When there are many books under the same classification number, and the classification numbers are same for more than one book, we arrange them, firstly according to classification number from 000-999 (in ascending order), then in alphabetical order from A to Z.. In this practice we consider each letter of author or bookmark one by one.

Row (4) is the accession number of the library. It is basically the inventory number of the Accession Register. This is the unique number, which is from 1-n and is allotted when the library material is brought in the library record. It also helps in arrangement of the books on the shelves. When classification and author mark or book mark are same we arrange the book firstly according to classification number then according to author mark or book mark and in case same of above we arrange the books through accession numbers. From 1-n.

All above mentioned four rows are collectively called “call number”. This is the order of the book on the shelves. You can trace the book through this call number
