Interested in browsing the library shelves for all books on a particular subject?
Use the Subject Location Guide
April 2012
Use the Subject Location Guide to identify the call number for books on your subject and then proceed directly to the shelves to browse for all books similarly classified. The Subject Location Guide is now available online for your convenience.
Print versions of the Subject Location Guide have been placed on top of the waist-high shelves near the Reference Desk on the first floor, as shown in the photo. Subject Location Guides have also been mounted to the compact shelving in the library stacks on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors for your convenience.
Using the Subject Location Guide and browsing the shelves is an effective strategy if you are looking for a looseleaf treatise on a particular subject or in circumstances where you are attempting to conduct a comprehensive search for background information in a particular subject area.
