Each book in the Library has a call number used to identify and locate it. Call numbers are based on the item's subject, author, and publication date. If you find one book on your topic, look around on the shelf for related books.

Once you find the book you are looking for in the catalog, you'll see a field like this:

Location: Stacks (A-K call numbers shelved on 2nd floor; L-Z on 3rd)

Write down the entire call number and go to the floor that has the starting letter.  In this case, L is on the third floor.
