**Call Number**
Every book in the library has its own **'Call number'**. Call number is comprised by two sets of numbers/ and or letters put together to tell you where in the library to find your book. It can be found at the bottom of the book on the spine. You may check the **call number** of the book you would like to find in @Library Catalogue.
 * 1) The 'number' on **TOP** is given by the Dewey Demical Classification. Fiction would use the letter "**F**" instead.
 * 2) The code **BELOW** is based on author's name, by the first 3 letters of anthor's surname.

Left to Right, Top to Bottom
That means you start at the ** left ** on the top shelf and move to the ** right ** until the shelf ends. Then, you go to the ** next shelf beneath ** that do the same. The numbers are going from **the smallest to the largest**, if they have the same number in class of classification, they would be arranged in **Alphabetical Order (For English Book).** 在中文書籍中，若分類號相同，則以作者碼之四角號碼由小至大排列.
