Can't find what you need?  For books, try OhioLINK. For books not available through OhioLINK and for other types of materials, use Interlibrary Loan (ILL).  ILL lets you borrow materials from non-OhioLINK libraries, including print books, scanned journal articles, musical scores, videos, theses/dissertations, and more. 

There are two major call number systems used in the libraries: the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress classification schemes. The first line of a call number, as it appears on a physical item, is a broad subject classification. The subsequent lines are combinations of letters and numbers that organize items into narrower, related categories.

Library of Congress	Dewey Decimal
RC   Alphabetically  537  Whole number	611.8  Whole number, followed by decimal
N475  Alphabetically, then decimals (may be followed by another letter)	.H295A  Alphabetically, then decimals
2019  Publication Date, shelves chronologically	e.g., 611.8 .H295A shelves before 611.8 .H3A

See How to Read Call Numbers from the University of Berkeley Library for more details about LC call numbers.
