Call numbers (these are all located on level 1).
Books can be located on the shelf using their call numbers. Books on similar topics are shelved together, so it can be helpful to look nearby to find other books on your topic.
But remember not all books are in print and on the shelf. Use MultiSearch first to find ebooks, print books and books from the ARC as well.
