Browsing Books on German Language and Literature 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 P to Languages and Literatures. “P” call numbers are assigned to the Languages and Literatures holdings that are shelved in the Reference Collection on the 2nd floor of Bird Library and in the general and oversize stacks on the 5th floor of Bird Library.
To see an outline of the entire "P" Class, open the document below. Then click on Subclasses "PD," "PF," and/or "PT" for outlines of the classification schemes for Germanic Languages and Literatures.
