The Zeta Collection is a collection of childrens and juvenile literature. This collection is unique at the Baylor Libraries because it is not cataloged in the same way as the rest of our materials. Instead of an LC Classification number, Zeta books are categorized using the Dewey Decimal System.

The call number associated with a Zeta Collection book will tell you not only how to find the book, but also what type of children's book it is.
