The complete Call no. would be : 621.01 --- Class No.
KIR/E --- Author Code / First letter of the Book title
24175 --- Accession No.
Below are select list of topics and their respective call nos. of books related to Life Science.
Call No. Subject Groups
621 : Mechanical Engineering
621.1 : Power Plant Engineering/Steam Engineering
