Remember that this guide is to help you browse, but it is not an exhaustive list of the Library of Congress headings and subheadings of every book that might be useful for your classes. Use our online catalog to look for more specific topics.

For example, the book An Integrated Approach to Health Sciences by Bruce J. Colbert, Jeff Ankney, Joe Wilson, and John Havrilla (ISBN 9781435487642) features information on mathematics, chemistry, physics, anatomy, and physiology that is useful for health professionals.  Its call number is RC 46 .C584 2012, placing it among books on Internal Medicine.  You would not find it with the math books in the “QA” section.  However, if you search in the catalog for “math”, your search will show this book.

Three of the books listed above are about American history.  Note that their call numbers begin with the letter E.  If you enjoy books on American history, browse the E section of the library, or search for terms like "Civil War" and "Presidents" in our catalog.
