Looking down at the record, which side of the groove is the "left" side?

In other words, is it the side of the groove closest to the spindle that carries the left channel of the recording, or is it the side of the groove closest to the record's edge?

You'd think this would be easy to look up, but I've been using Google for a few hours and come up with nothing. I'm getting a bit of left-side bias in my playback, and can't tell if I should increase or reduce my anti-skating force.

Thanks for any advice.
