Print Resources

Browsing Economics Books by Call Number

 

Although some older books are classified in the Dewey Decimal Classification System, most of Syracuse University Library’s print resources are classified in and physically arranged according to the alpha-numeric Library of Congress (LC) Classification System.

The LC system has allocated Class H to Social Sciences, with Subclasses HB-HJ addressing various aspects of Economics: Economic Theory and Demography (HB); Economic History and Conditions (HC); Industries, Land Use, and Labor (HD); Transportation and Communications (HE); Commerce (HF); Finance (HG); and Public Finance (HJ).

“H” call numbers are assigned to Economics holdings that are shelved in the Reference Collection on the 2nd floor of Bird Library and in the general and oversize stacks on the 3rd floor of Bird Library.

To see an outline of the entire "H" Class, open the document below, and then click on any Economics Subclass of interest for its classification scheme.
