Student Guide to Erwin Library: Find Books

How do I find print books I can use for my research?

• Search the Erwin Library Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC):
  • Copy the call number
  • Locate the book on the library shelf; most are in the General Collection
• Browse the shelves near a book you have found already to be useful; other books in the same call number range may also be useful to your research:
  • The LC Classification Brochure is available online and also in paper copies at the library Circulation Desk
  • Have a copy with you to help you find call number areas to browse
• Make an Interlibrary Loan request for a Book:
  • The Erwin Library will borrow it for you to pick up here at WCC
  • Just give yourself a week or so for the process
