Dallas College Libraries uses the Library of Congress (LC) Classification System to organize items in their collection. 

To find a book on the shelf, you will need some information from the Library Catalog. Under the title of the book in the catalog, you will see the Campus, Collection, and Call Number.

For example, this item information may be listed as Available at El Centro (El Centro is the Campus where this book is located). Main Collection (main collection is the section where this book is located in library). TH 4813 .S3 2001 (the call number tells where this book is shelved in the library).

• TA (Engineering (General) - Civil engineering)
• TC (Hydraulic engineering - Ocean engineering)
• TD (Environmental technology - Sanitary engineering)
• TE (Highway engineering - Roads and pavements)
