Faculty Guide to Erwin Library: Books

Find Print 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
