Title: Interpreting Call Numbers

Status: In Progress

Project Description:  Most of Library books are shelved according to the Library of Congress Classification System. A series of letters and numbers is assigned to each publication according to its main subject. This is referred to as its Call Number. When you find the call number for a book, journal, or other publication from its record in an Online Catalog, you can find it on a shelf somewhere in the stacks.

The user will encounter a variety of subject examples along with an interactive piece that will allow them to apply information learned during the examples.  The idea is to strengthen the recall of call numbers, what they mean and where they are located, to aid in research and exploration of materials.

Plan: A final plan for a multimedia piece has not been completed at this time.

Applications: TBD

Development Notes: TBD
