Q & A

How do I find where a book is in the library?

To find a book on your topic you need to search Locate, our resource discovery system. You can search by book title, author or keyword. Each book has a shelf number (or classification number). The Locate record will tell you the call number and (for the Lanchester Library) the floor number of the book.
