Most physical items (like books, DVDs, and CDs) in the library are on the second floor of the Learning Commons in the stacks. The library also has a large collection of eBooks.
1. Find print books by call number
The WCC library has over 25,000 print books. They are organized by call number, which is on the outside of the book. Call numbers are read from left to right and from top to bottom.
Within the alpha call numbers, books are arranged in number order.
The numbers are arranged in numerical order, from low to high.
Line 3 of the call number has a letter and a number.
- The letters are in alphabetical order.
- Once you find the letter, read the number. But note these are decimals not whole numbers.
Example: A55 is read as A .55. This is why A55 comes before A6 (A .55, A .6, A .65).
