Where do you start looking?
In the online catalog, Location (floors) comes before a call number (see the circled section below). The location tells you which floor to go to look for that book.

Below is a brief list of the locations at the UWSP Library. The book above (LB2395.P69 2000) is on the fourth floor, since the initial letters of the call number LB falls into Stacks G to PR.
