The numbers that follow these beginning letters relate to the narrower scope of the item, for example: consider the subject headings and specific book call numbers, Geography – History (G80.M38 2005) vs. Agricultural Geography (S453 .C54 1980).
Occasionally, a totally different call number will appear. This means the book is more about the agricultural aspects of geography and higher importance was given to the concept of (S) agriculture when the call letters and numbers were assigned.
