Understanding Call Numbers

As you searched the FLO Catalog, you probably noticed that each book has a call number.

In the library catalog, the call number is displayed horizontally:
   LC1099.3 .N54 2004

On the spine of a book, the call number is shown vertically so it fits on the end of the book.
