This information is about print books and periodicals. Most of the library's books and periodicals are full text online rather than in print. See also E-Books.
Most of the books you can sign out of the Library are located on the Upper Level. You will need the call number of the book (found by searching the Library Catalogue) to find it on the shelves.
