In Academic Libraries, materials are generally organized by subject and format, rather than genre or language. In Public Libraries this may be different; materials may be separated by language and there are generally different sections for fiction and non fiction as well as by the reader's age/reading level (Children's/Juvenile, Young Adult, Adult).
Academic libraries also use a different classification system (Library of Congress) than Public Libraries. Both systems use call numbers to allow users to find the location of the materials in the Library Catalog (either by going to the sections of circulating materials themselves or requesting that someone retrieve them).
In UC Library Search, the record for a book indicates its format above the title and its location (online OR section of the library and classification [call] #) below it.
