Question

If a librarian were to direct you to a source’s alphanumeric tag on a library shelf, what term is she implicitly referencing for that source?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: call number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Materials in a library are arranged on the basis of their subjects. This method of organization is called classification.

The alphanumeric tag on a library shelf is known as the call number. This number is either marked on the spine of the book or in the library catalog. It refers to the location of the book.

It is like a unique identification code for each book in the library. The call number is a mix of letters and numbers and generally begins with alphabets.
