Call Number Locations

Most books and other materials on education reside in the 'L' section of the Library of Congress Classification system we use to organize materials by subject in the Libraries.

The 'L's currently sit on the 20th floor of the W.E.B. Du Bois Library. The Library of Congress call number areas that contain a significant number of books, journals and other materials on education include:

LA History of education
