Beginning in October 2017, the Morton Library will be undergoing a reclassification to change all of our call numbers in the stacks to the Library of Congress system.  For a few years, there will be two parallel collections, and there will be almost constant stacks shifting during this process.  We apologize for any complications.  If you have trouble finding something, please do come to the Circulation Desk for help.

The classification scheme now used by the library was developed at Union Theological Seminary in New York and is designed specifically for theological book collections. Its notation (symbol system) makes use of the 26 letters of the alphabet plus numerals. Some fifteen theological seminary libraries make use of these schedules. A broad table of the contents of this scheme, together with identification of collections by stack decks, will be found below.
