Browsing the Collection

Actual physical browsing (in the stacks) can sometimes help you find what you didn't realize you needed. Begin by finding a record for a print book in the catalog and then browse in that Call Number range on the upper level Circulating Collection (books you can take home) and the main floor in the Reference Collection.
