Find a Book in the NJIT Library: Book Search by Subject

Library materials are classified according to the Library of Congress (LC) system. LC assigns call numbers, which we use to shelve the books, by subjects. We use LC Subject Headings in our online catalog. Learning to use them can help you save time and find books you might not get using only keyword searches.
