Book Location Guide

Books housed in the University and Deering Libraries are organized first by location, then by call number.

In the University Library towers, large-sized books (identified by an L or Large) in the same range start at the end of the regular-sized ranges and are immediately to the right when you enter the tower.

Use the tables below, along with the building maps, to find books. 

MAIN and MAIN Large Books

MAIN Large Books are housed in the same rooms/towers as corresponding regular-sized MAIN Library ranges, but shelved separately. Maps of tower rooms and the Lower Level are posted within those areas to help navigate. 

This table outlines the locations within the main library for books, categorized by their call number ranges. It indicates which tower room or level corresponds to each range, noting that large books are shelved separately from regular-sized books within the same tower.
