Copiers (greyscale only) are also available for patrons’ convenience. Copy machine use requires a copy card, which can be purchased at the front desk.
Can I send a fax from the library?
No. If you wish to send a fax, you may do so from the campus post office in the basement of Campus Hall.
How do I find books by their call number?
All books held in the library are assigned a “Call Number,” which lets you know where it is shelved in the library. Library of Congress Call Numbers are made up of a combination of letters, whole numbers and decimal numbers.
| PS | Letters of the Alphabet |
| 3525 | Whole Numbers |
| .I96 | Letters and Decimal numbers |
| G6 | Letters and Decimal numbers |
The third and fourth lines are usually made up of combinations of letters and decimal numbers. They place all of the PS3525 books alphabetically by author and title. The 96 of .I96 should be shelved reading the number digit by digit from left to right. Hence .I933 would be shelved before .I96. The call number PS3525.I96 G6 means the following:
| PS | American Literature |
| 3525 | Authors in the early 20th Century whose last names begin with “M” |
| .I96 | Margaret Mitchell, specifically |
| G6 | Gone with the Wind |
