How do I find a book on the shelf?

 

To find a book within the Library you will need the book's unique call number (also called a classmark or shelfmark). If you have not already found the call number, please use Library Search.

The library uses a classification system called the Dewey Decimal system. Library Search will show you the call number, based on Dewey Decimal, for physical books. Note the call number down and then check the shelves for that number.  Material is arranged on the shelves in numerical order.   A book will have a label on its spine with the relevant call number.
