Equivalent call numbers
Columbia and Library of Congress classifications
Although the two classifications often take the same approach to
dividing knowledge into categories, in a few cases here the Columbia
Classification column shows an asterisk (*) to note that the LC
subject grouping does not correspond well to a Columbia Classification
call number. This chart refers to the Columbia Classification as used
in the General Library, and in some cases refers to other libraries at
Columbia (e.g. Reference) as the Columbia location for an LC subject
grouping.
