Finding books

The Library of Congress Classification system uses the letters BF to classify psychology books. If you find a book that you'd like to check out, be sure to write down the call number - it should look something like this: BF721 .P452

Even though BF is the primary location for psychology resources, some psychology books can be found under different Library Congress letters. Here are a few other places that you may find books related to psychology: 

  • QP: Generally covers physiology. Neuroscience can be found within QP351 to QP495
  • RC: Generally covers internal medicine. Psychiatry and related subjects can be found between RC321 and RC576
  • RJ: Generally covers pediatrics. Child psychiatry can be found RJ499 to RJ507
  • LB: Generally covers theory and education. Educational psychology can be found LB1050.9 to LB1091.

Unsure where to find the BF section or any other LC class? Ask a librarian.
