Call Number Location Guide

ALWAYS check the item's LOCATION using the online catalog — items may be located anywhere in the Library's system. For assistance in locating an item ask at the Information Desk.

Note that the entire Main Library is undergoing a shift right now. Please be patient as we reorganize our collection; the ultimate goal is to provide you better access to our materials!
