ƒ (folio/oversized): A lowercase ƒ prefix before a call number denotes a folio/oversized item. Folios in the bookstacks are shelved on the same floor as regular-sized books in the same class, in a separate sequence.

Folio moves: As classes move within the bookstacks, folios will remain on the original floor until specifically noted. All folios will eventually move to the same floor as regular-sized books in the same class. The new folio sections on the 2nd-5th floors are located at the south end of those floors. Listed below are the locations for all folios in Regenstein.
