Find the number range on the side of the shelf and zero in on the address of the book. The neighboring books may also be of interest - take some time to browse!

This sign provides details about the Library of Congress subject headings and hangs in the elevator.  'N' books are in the Fine Arts subject area. If this is your major, you will become very familiar with this area. It works the same way with other subjects.

There are total of 8 floors of book 'stacks' in the Library labeled 'S' (i.e. S1 - S8) and four main floors. The map tells you that books beginning with a 'N' are found on the Stack 4.
