The UNT Libraries currently use the Library of Congress system to classify the books in our collections. The Library of Congress system uses both letters of the alphabet plus numbers to classify books. Classification causes books on similar topics to be together on the shelves.
The two kinds of call numbers for music books are ML and MT. ML stands for music literature, while MT stands for music theory or music teaching.
