A shelfmark (sometimes also called a classmark) is a number and text combination assigned to a book or other item on the basis of the Dewy Decimal Classification scheme.
The shelfmark is printed on a label on the spine of the book and determines where the book is located in the library; the first part, which consists of numbers, indicates the subject area of the book; the second part, consisting of letters, refers to the author's or editor's surname (and sometimes to the subject of the book, if it is a biography).
