Navigating Firestone Library
Firestone has both Library of Congress call numbers, which begin with letters, and Richardson call numbers, which begin with numbers. Every call number in Firestone is associated with a location code and a floor map coordinate. For example, the book The Inner Ocean: Individualism and Democratic culture by George Kateb has call # JC571 .K344 1992 and is in Firestone (F), where (F) means the open Firestone Stacks. The Locations link below tells us that this call number is located at B-10-G. The first letter or number is the floor, and the second 2 digits are the map coordinates of that floor. Click on a Firestone floor map below to see the floors, and where the coordinates point to. For other locations besides (F), follow the "Designated Locations link" below.
