Finding Books

The library's catalog is one of the best places to start your search for books on your subject. Unlike Discovery, it does not include journal articles in its results.

We use the Library of Congress (LC) classification system, which arranges library materials by subject. Here are a few Geoscience-related LC call number ranges:

GB - Physical Geography, Hydrogeology
QE - Geology
TN - Mining Engineering

If the library doesn't have the book you need, try requesting it through Interlibrary Loan!
