Depository items at Ladd are arranged by their Superintendent of Documents classification numbers. Publications are grouped together by issuing agency.

For example the U.S. Industrial Outlook has the SuDoc number:

C61.34: 994
Commerce
Department
(issuing agency)
International Trade
Administration
(subordinate bureau
within the agency)
Number
designating the
title
Year of
publication
(1994)

Note: that the 'dot' in a SuDoc number is a period, not a decimal. For example, "C 61.34:" is shelved after "C 61.7:"

Congressional Hearing: GOVT. Y 4.AG 8/1: F 28 - Y 4. Indicates Congress; AG 8/1: - name of committee; F 28 - individual title

S.HRG. and S.PRT. are filed at the end of a committee's hearings, not under S.
