Environmental Studies Subject Guide

For subject assistance contact: Amelia Brunskill, Collections & Research Services Librarian, 245-1601.

As a result of the interdisciplinary nature of Environmental Studies, relevant materials can be found throughout the library. While the Library of Congress Classification System does have a call number range specifically designated for Environmental Sciences, there are many other call number ranges that may contain items of interest.

Examples of broad classification areas:
Q= Science
K= Law
H= Social Sciences

Examples of narrower classification areas:
QD1-999= Chemistry
GF 1-900= Human Ecology
GE 1-350 = Environmental Sciences
BJ 1-1725= Ethics
SD1-669.5= Forestry

Look at the Library of Congress Classification System Outline for more information.
