Call Number Wall
The call number wall located at the Ask a Librarian desk is a stream of library call numbers. Our library uses the Library of Congress classification system, which is used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and around the world. The concept for this wall was created by the University Common's architects. The call numbers were selected by the UHV Librarians. The red call numbers represent the call numbers of books that are about Victoria, the library, UHV and Victoria College.
