Library staff can always help you find a book (during work hours). If you see a library employee working in the stacks, don't hesitate to ask them to show you were a book is located.
Books can be located in any of our six campus libraries. When you search the catalog, you will see the Library and building location with the call number in the results screen. For items with multiple copies, you will need to view the full catalog record and look under "Holdings".
Note the Library building and location along with the call number. Click on the map link to determine the location within the building. Maps and call number guides are also posted at each campus library. Most items on open shelving are located in the bookstacks.
