Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Many research and  academic libraries assign call numbers to books using the Library of Congress Classification system.  This system is arranged by subject matter.  Browsing online library catalogs or shelves by call number is an effiencent method of locating materials.  For a complete outline visit the Library of Congress Classification website (www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco)

For example, if you are interested in books on Polymers look under the call number T 1080 to T 1185.
