The catalog record shows both the location and call number of a book.

If the location is Thomas Cooper Library Columbia Cooper, the first letter of the call number tells you which level of the Thomas Cooper Library to go to:

A - D on Level 1
E - L on Level 2
N - P on Level 3
Q - Z on Level 4

Example: Call number PR 9199.3 .A8 J69 is on Level 3.
