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.

International Affairs: Most books about international affairs are in various sections, such as J for political science and H for social sciences. One example is JZ4984.5 .K46 2007 (The parliament of man: The past, present, and future of the United Nations by P. M. Kennedy)
