Understanding Library Call Numbers

The Charlotte Christian College and Theological Seminary library uses the Library of Congress classification system like most college and research libraries. This classification system determines how books are organized on the shelf and categorizes them according to predetermined subject headings. When you open a catalog record, you will find the call number listed below the title of the book. This number is also printed on the spine label.

Spine Label on Book

The call number in the catalog is written from left to right on the catalog record and from top to bottom on the spine label. When you are looking for a book, be certain to write down the entire call number and the collection.

Goldberg 1996 Library Club

The Goldberg 1996 Library Club is a tangible way to support God's work at Charlotte Christian College and Theological Seminary. The Library will develop the 1996 Library Club to attract donors to give via the library website. Donors will be encouraged to give $19.96 to commemorate the year the institution was founded. Donating to this fund supports the operating budget of the library. Moreover, it helps the library update its technologies, add quality books and media, and fund workshops hosted by the library staff. Please contact the library for more information about donating to the Goldberg 1996 Library Club.

We look forward to growing and evolving to meet the needs of current and future leaders of the church.
