Browsing for books on the shelf can be a very useful way to gather material on a topic. Seymour Library uses the Library of Congress call number classification system, and all materials on a topic are shelved together. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the course "Women and Latin American Politics," you may wish to browse the shelf in a range of subject areas depending on your specific topic.
NOTE: Only the major sections of each class are listed below. For additional subsections of each, including call number ranges for specific countries, see the Library of Congress Classification Outline.
