Call numbers serve to uniquely identify a book’s location within the overall (subject) collection.
The books are arranged by subject in alphanumeric order according to these call numbers. The call number labels are located at the bottom of the book spine.

Example: 

RVK Notation CQ 5000
Call Number S656
Edition (2)

The call number generally consists of three elements:

1. RVKnotation: The RVK notation indicates the book’s subject classification.

2. Cutter code: The letter-number abbreviation (cutter code) provides a more detailed classification
within the notation range.

3. Edition, volume, and/or copy information

Standards are generally accepted rules, guidelines, or criteria that apply in various areas of life. They serve to ensure consistent behavior, processes, or results and can be applied in many fields, such as technology, business, society, law, and the environment.

For general research, we recommend the freely accessible DIN Media database. The most important institution in the field of standards is the German Institute for Standardization (DIN).

The Weingarten University Library provides all RWU university members with campus-wide access to the Nautos databases. The database offers access to extensive collections of standards and can be accessed via the DBIS database system.
DIN-VDE standards and ISO standards are not included!
