Steps to Find a Print Book

Use the search box above to search our collection of books.

Click on a title in the results list to see more details including a book description.

 

Take note of these to find the book:

  • Bay number
  • Call number

 

Main Lending bays are numbered from 1 - 16

 

A is assigned to the front of a bay

B is assigned to the back of a bay

A call number (or class number) is applied to the spine of each book and books are ordered on the shelves by this call number.

The first three letters of the author's surname are added to the call number.

For example 006.312 is a call number for data mining and would be followed by HAN for the author Han, Jiawei

This means books about the same subject will have the same call number and will be shelved together.
