Finding a Print Book in the library

Books are arranged by call number

Call number locations are arranged by levels (see chart below)

On the chart the Level letters indicate: C = Central, "N" = North, and "S" = South

There are floor maps for each level near the stairwell landings to help you locate the call number

Problems? Ask the Help Desk on the level.

Want a copy of the Call Number Locations list? Ask at a Help Desk.
