CAE1811: Finding Books

Print Book Collection

Our print book collection provides information for in-depth understanding of a topic. Because of the turn-around time for publishing and the volume of information provided in the format, books tend to be produced more slowly than their article counterparts. Keep in mind though, that newer is not always better. Classic works on subjects like mathematics, physics, and history are not likely to suffer despite the passage of time.

Library Organization

A majority of our resources are organized by the Library of Congress Classification System. Like the Dewey Decimal System, items are arranged by subject, however the format is slightly different.

One of the wonderful things about subject-sorted materials is that if you find a resource that suits your purposes, you're likely to find other useful materials nearby. We recommend taking a moment to look at items near the item you were searching for.
