Currently, most of Kent Library's books are organized on the shelf by the Dewey Decimal System. Kent Library is in the process of converting library materials to Library of Congress (LC) call numbers. Until this conversion is complete, collections in all subjects will be housed in both Dewey and LC, though most books related to personal health have been reclassified and are in LC.. Call numbers are assigned to represent a subject that describes what the book is about. As a result, book(s) you find in the catalog may be shelved next to books on similar topics. You can often find more sources by looking around on the shelf by the book(s) you found using the catalog.
Listed below are call numbers for Personal Health in the LC classification scheme:
Library of Congress Call Numbers
RA421-790.95 - Public health. Hygiene. Preventive medicine
RA428-428.5 - Public health laboratories, institutes, etc.
RA440-440.87 - Study and teaching. Research
Conversely, if you would like to browse for books that are still in the old classification system, remember that the Dewey Decimal System organizes books by subject.
Dewey Decimal Call Numbers
613 - Personal health & safety
614 - Incidence & prevention of disease
615 - Pharmacology & therapeutics
