Classification Numbers for Art
Monographs (books,
exhibition and collection catalogs) and back issues of periodicals (magazines,
journals, newsletters, bulletins, annuals) are arranged on the Hillyer
Art Library shelves by subject using the Library of Congress Classification
(LC) system. Although most art material is classified as "N: Fine Arts"
books on some aspects of the fine and applied arts can be found at other
classification numbers as well. Use the Five
College Library Catalog to search for holdings on your topic in all
locations.
Many of the art library's pre-1970 holdings are housed in the Smith College
Libraries Storage Facility and are classified using the Dewey Decimal
Classification system (most are in the 700s). Use the "Request Item"
in the Five College catalog to page these items. They will be delivered
to Neilson Library.
