Books and chapters of books in the main book collection bear a call number taken from schedule 300 of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) scheme. The subject of the book is expressed in numbers and punctuation; this is called the notation. The latter is usually followed by the first 3 letters of the author's name to make up a complete call number which is marked on the book's spine label.

Signs at the end of the shelves give guidance to call numbers and, hence, to books.
