Library of Congress Call Numbers for Art

The Lane Library uses the Library of Congress classification system to assign call numbers to books so that you can find them on the shelves. If you'd like to browse the shelves, you can find the art books under these broad categories, both in the Reference Collection, 1st floor and in the Main Stacks, 2nd floor:

N Visual arts                                                       NE Print media
NA Architecture NK Decorative arts
NB Sculpture NX Arts in general
NC Drawing. Design. Illustration TP Chemical technology (includes some ceramics/pottery)
ND Painting TT Handicrafts. Arts and Craft

Locating a book in the library

Once you find a book in the GIL Find catalog, use the Call number and the Location information to find the book on the shelf.  Call numbers are read alphabetically and then nurmerically.

The short video below walks you through the process!
