Chinese Books in LC and
Harvard-Yenching call numbers
Currently Chinese books at the EAL have two
different
call number systems: Library of Congress Classification System (LC) and
Harvard-Yenching Classification System. LC call number always starts
with alphabetical letter, for example:
DS777.53 .L546
2005
PL2727 .S2 Z363 2005
Harvard-Yenching call number starts with numeric digits, such as:
4292.3 2135
9155 1143
Chinese books in LC call number are housed in the mezzanine of Meyer
Library except a few big sets. Because of the space shortage, we are
sending most of big sets to the Stanford Auxiliary Library (SAL). For
titles in LC call number housed in SAL, please check with the staff at
the front desk (725-3435).
Chinese books in Harvard-Yenching call numbers are all housed in SAL
except folios (books in big size). To access this collection, users can
go to SAL directly to browse. But all the SAL materials have to be
requested at the EAL front desk in order to charge out. Normally it
takes 2 days for the books from SAL to be delivered to EAL for picking
up.
Japanese Books in LC call
number and Nippon Decimal
Classification
Japanese books have two different call number
systems at
EAL: Library of Congress Classification System (LC) and Nippon Decimal
Classification. LC call number always starts with alphabetical letter,
for example:

2000
PL528 .S547
2001
Nippon Decimal call number starts with numeric digits, such as
351 MI47
366.059 JR59R
Approximately 75 % of
Japanese books are housed in the mezzanine of Meyer Library. Some books
in LC and Nippon Decimal call number are moved to SAL because of the
space shortage. For detailed information on the call number ranges of
Japanese books housed in SAL, please check the staff at the front desk
(725-3435). To access this collection, users can go to SAL directly to
browse. But all the SAL materials have to be requested at the EAL front
desk in order to charge out. Normally it takes 2 days for the books
from SAL to be delivered to EAL for picking up.
