Browsing Library Collections by Call Numbers
Although some older books are perhaps classified in the Dewey Decimal Classification System, most Syracuse University Libraries print resources are classified in and physically arranged according to the alpha-numeric Library of Congress (LC) Classification System. [NOTE: Although they have no physical presence, e-books are also assigned base LC classification numbers to make them findable via Libraries Search "Call Number" searches.]
The LC system has allocated Class P to Languages and Literature. “P” call numbers are assigned to the Languages and Literature 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.
Note: Less frequently used library materials are kept in other facilities on campus. Materials can be requested for next-business-day delivery to a library on campus.
You can see an outline of the entire "P" Class from the Library of Congress. Then click on Subclass "PD" for an outline of the classification scheme for Germanic Languages and Literature.

When you write a paper or give a presentation you need to have a topic( thesis topic), and you must reference your sources according to one citation manual.
Take a moment to think about your topic.
Define your topic by asking yourself a set of questions. Turn your topic into a research question (a thesis topic).
Think of words and phrases to use in a search for information regarding your topic. If nothing works, change your search terms to find more specific or more general information. Remember you can always ask for research help from a librarian.
