Finding print books on the shelf

At each campus, books are organized using the Library of Congress (LC) Classification System. To find a book on the shelf, you will need some information from the Library Catalog. Under the title of the book in the catalog, you will see the CampusSection, and Call Number.

For example, this information may be listed as Available at Richland Campus (Richland is the campus where this book is located) Main Collection (the section where this book is located in library) HD 596 .R43 2014 (the call number tells you where this book is shelved in the library).
