Our book collection available for check out is located in the first room on the right side of
the main hall. If the
SearchWorks
record of the book you are looking for says the location at Swain is “STACKS”, then the
book should be on the shelf under the call number listed*. If the long record has a due date listed
then the book is checked out and is due back on that date. There is a link to the right of the due
date that will allow you to
recall
an item.
If a book you are looking for isn’t on the shelf, please be sure you are checking in the Book Room
and not the
Reference Room.
The New Book Shelf is located to the left of the public computer kiosks. Newly
purchased materials are placed on the New Book Shelf every Tuesday and remain there for a one-week
review. If you would like to reserve one of these items, you may place a
hold
in
SearchWorks
or bring it to the loan desk during business hours. You will be notified by e-mail when it is
available.
* The book collection is shelved by the alphanumeric Library of Congress call number system.
