[Koha] inquiries

Hi Twinamatsiko, 

Each book in the library has a unique call number. A call number is like an
address: it tells us where the book is located in the library. 

More info here: 
http://honolulu.hawaii.edu/legacylib/callno.html
This library uses the Library of Congress Classification system
http://info.library.unsw.edu.au/skills/call-numbers.html
This library uses the Dewey Classification system

Some libraries create their own classification system for their call
numbers. 

Cheerio, 
Irma
