Call Number

Public Policy research is often interdisciplinary, and so it is best to check in the call number ranges (the book's address on the physical shelf) for your project's interdisciplinary topic as well as in those relating to public policy when browsing the stacks for books. Below are several sections which may be helpful to you if you are looking for books and eBooks related to public policy by itself. Not sure where the books are in the library? Check out the library map below or ask at the front desk.

The Library of Congress classification and subject headings systems are large and complex systems subject to government approval, and as a result, sometimes the process to update the classifications and subject headings to their most current terms, especially those pertaining to race, gender, and sexuality, can be slow. Please feel free to ask a librarian more about how the classification and subject headings systems are structured, their biases, and current efforts to improve the terminology within them.
