Browsing for Books

Looking for print books and prefer to browse the shelves? CSCC Library uses the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system to organize our books. The LCC system uses multiple layers of subject categories, as well as author information, and codes the information with letters and numbers. For more information, take a look at the Library of Congress Classification Outline.

Medicine: Most books about medicine are in the R section. One example is R123 .S6 2007 (Medical Terminology Made Easy by J. T. Dennerll and J. L. Smith)
Surgery: Most books about surgery are in the RD section, with anesthesiology specifically in the RD78.3-87.3 section. One example is RD41 .Z65 1988 (Atlas of Surgical Operations by Robert M. Zollinger)
