Depository items at Ladd are arranged by their Superintendent of Documents classification numbers. Publications are grouped together by issuing agency. For example the U.S. global trade outlook has the SuDoc number:
C |
61. |
34/3: |
995-2000 |
Commerce

International Trade

Note: that the ‘dot’ in a SuDoc number is a period, not a decimal. For example, “C 61.34:” is shelved after “C 61.7:”
