About Music Call Numbers

Call numbers are like geographic coordinates for libraries. The Conservatory Library has both Dewey call numbers and Library of Congress Call Numbers which are in different sections of our library. Check out our floor maps to see these sections! If the call number starts with a number, it's a Dewey call number; if it starts with a letter, it's Library of Congress. Below are some call numbers to browse for different kinds of materials.
