To create the most effective and efficient searches, utilize the search strategies

The materials in the Santa Fe Community College Library are organized by the Library of Congress (LC) Classification System. This puts items on similar subjects together on the shelf. Books and DVDs on the same subject will have the same call number. Each item is given a subject heading that corresponds to a call number which identifies the location of the item on a shelf. Call numbers consist of letters and numbers, and are arranged on the shelves in alphabetical AND numerical order.
