EXPLANATION OF SHELF-NUMBERS.

The numbers placed on the right hand side of the pages indicate the shelf-divisions in which the books are located. The number opposite the class-subject shows the place in which the books are shelved in the Reference department, and applies to all the books under the class-subject, unless otherwise indicated. If, then, a book-entry has no shelf-number printed opposite to it, it takes the number of the class subject under which it is entered. Books marked Ref. are to be found in the Reference room; Med. in the Medical room; A. C. in the Atlas case. Other books in the Reference department are marked with the Roman numerals I, II, III, IV, V. All other books are marked with the capital letters of the alphabet, and are shelved in the Circulating department, from which they may be drawn either for hall-use or for home-use.
