How do I find something in the stacks?

 

The particular book we're looking for, Feminine Endings: Music, Gender, and Sexuality by Susan McClary, has the call number ML82 .M38 1991

Let's break down the call number to understand where we will find this resource.

ML

M stands for Music  (this is where will find scores and sheet music)
ML stands for Literature on Music
MT stands for Music Instruction or Study

82

82 is a classification within ML that indicates this is a text about "Women in Music" -- classifications are incredibly useful.

Here you will search numerically, so 82 comes after 81 but before 82.5

.M38 M38 is a further classification related to the author McClary and is used alphabetically then numerically
1991 1991 is year that this book was published
