• Thrid floor bookstacks, call numbers A - QE; S - TL (third floor map)

What if the book is off the shelf?

If you've looked for a book that that is supposed to be on the shelf ("not charged") try these steps:

• If the book is checked out place a recall to have it returned.
• Look in the re-shelving areas behind the Circulation/Reserves counter and on the book trucks at the top of the stairwells on the second or third floors, depending on call number.
• Look in both photocopier rooms on each floor.
• Check at the Reference Desk to be certain of your information.
• Fill out a Search Request Form. (We'll do the looking from this point on.) Or you can click on the "Can't find it?" link in the Lens Search or Library Catalog record for that item. Searches take between 1-5 working days.

What if the Library doesn't own the book I need?

Use the Library's free Interlibrary Loan service to request a the book(s) you need.
