Welcome to WSU Libraries! In this guide, we'll unlock the mysteries of call numbers and location prefixes. Knowing these helps you quickly locate and access your desired

Call Numbers

Books and material are arranged on our shelves according to the Library of Congress (LC) classification system. These call numbers uniquely identify and organize items near other material on the same or similar subjects. Consider the call number: LB2395 C65 1991.

●LB defines the subject area. The call letters are typically arranged in alphabetical (字母的) order, starting from A and continuing through the alphabet. Knowing the letter(s) for your subject area gives you a place to start browsing the shelves. For example: A—Special request General Works; B—Special request Special request Philosophy, Psychology, Religion; D—Special request World History; G—Geography; H—Special request Social Sciences; J—Special request Political Science; K—Special request Law; L—Special request Education; M—Special request Music; N—Special request Arts; P—Special request Language and Literature; Q—Special request Science...For more, click here.

●2395 is the classification number, which further distinguishes the subject matter. Read as a whole number: 1, 2, 3, 45, 100, 2430...

●C65 is the Cutter number and usually represents the author's last name. Find C, then

65. Read the number as a decimal (小数).

●1991 is the year of publication.

Location Prefixes

Some call numbers have a location prefix. I ocation prefixes mean that the book or material is shelved in a special place, and may have loan restrictions. WSU uses the following prefixes:

Prefix	Collection	Library Location	Loan Period
[Blank]	Circulating Collection	2nd floor, 3rd floor, and 4th floor	21-day loan

2.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

The sounds of the Northern Lights have been a mystery to scientists for over a century. But now it seems that a researcher has figured out how auroras (极光) really make sounds. "It has pretty much been confirmed all over the world," "historian Fiona Amery said. "In Canada, Norway and Russia, they are all hearing very much the same sounds." "The auroras can occur hundreds of kilometers above the ground, which strengthens opinions that their sounds are just a false impression," said Fiona. Many scientists argued that auroras were too far away to hear and that any sound would take several minutes to reach the ground, so it was impossible for them to change in time with the auroras.

However, other scientists were convinced that the Northern Lights really made noises. In the 1920s, Canadian astronomer Clarence Chant first suggested a mechanism by which they could occur: The motion of the aurora caused changes in the electrification of the atmosphere that created crackling sounds close to the ground. Almost 100 years later, Clarence's suggestion seems close to what could be the true reason for the sounds.

In 2012，an expert named Unto Laine showed a recording of auroral sounds after years of monitoring auroras. In 2016, he announced the mechanism that makes the sounds: an inversion layer(逆温层) of cold air in the atmosphere that can form below an aurora and a short distance above the ground in calm weather.

Unto argues that visible changes in the aurora cause changes in the inversion layer, causing accumulated electricity to discharge as sparks (火花) that create sounds that can be heard. That explains how the sounds correspond with the aurora 's visible movements 一they begin to happen in the inversion layer only about 75 meters above the observer.

(1) What are the words Fiona said in Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The existence of the sounds of the Northern Lights. B. The need to make full use of the Northern Lights. C. The problems caused by the Northern Lights. D. The cause of the Northern Lights.

(2) What can we learn about Clarence's suggestion in the 1920s? A. It matched a lot of old ideas. B. It was well recognized then. C. It might be of great value. D. It was a total failure.

(3) How does the author convey his idea in the text? A. By listing research numbers. B. By making comparisons. C. By providing explanations. D. By giving examples.

(4) Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Can We Enjoy the Northern Lights? B. Do the Northern Lights Make Sounds? C. Why Should We Study the Northern Lights? D. How Do the Northern Lights Come into Being?
