Collection

Resources at Adelaide Theological Library may be shelved in one of several areas or collections. The Voyager catalogue will indicate this collection as a subset of the location.

Collection usually represents both a physical space within the library and loan conditions.

Call Number

Each item in Adelaide Theological Library is allocated a call number, indicating where in relation to other items in the collection it is shelved.
