FINDING A BOOK

The library uses the Library of Congress classification system and the Library of Congress subject headings to arrange its books. A letter of the alphabet is used to identify different subject areas.

Books are listed in the online catalog and may be found by author, title, subject, keyword, or call number searches.

Location codes indicate if an item is in the Reference, General, Rare Book, Audio Visual, Children's Literature, Music Seminar or Oversized Collection. Check the stack locators and directories displayed throughout the building to find the floor on which the book is shelved. The Music Seminar collection is located in the Music Seminar Room, 322 Moreau Center for the Arts.

If you do not find the book you need in the online catalog, ASK the reference librarian for assistance. He or she may be able to suggest an alternate title or subject approach or search strategy. If a book you need is not available in the Saint Mary's library, interlibrary loan may be used to obtain it.
