Like books in a public library, books in academic libraries are grouped by subject. The Library of Congress Classification Outline can help you identify call numbers for your subject. Then you can find where the call numbers are in the library by asking our staff at the Information Desk. Since books on your subject will likely be located together, once you identify a few relevant titles, try browsing around those books on the shelves.
You can search for books using our @LL Search and FLO Catalog.
