BROWSING NUTRITION & DIETETICS IN THE LIBRARY
The MCC libraries, like most academic libraries, use the Library of Congress Classification system for cataloging books. This is a subject focused classification system utilizing letters and numbers in the book call number. Following are some call number ranges you can browse for nutrition and dietetics resources in the library:
QP141 - QP801 = Physiology of Human Nutrition
TP368 - TP660 = Food Processing and Technology
TX341 - TX641 = General Nutrition and Food Science
TX642 - TX840 = Cookery
