How can I find a book on the shelves in the library?

Answer

Go to the University Libraries homepage and choose the "Find Books and Media" tab. This search includes all print and ebooks. Once you have your initial results, look on the left side of the page to narrow your results (e.g.  print book, ebook, date published). Select your book and copy down the call number!  That's what you'll need to find the book once you're in the library.  (Ebooks don't have call numbers since you simply view them online.)

A screenshot of a book and call number is linked below if you want to see an example.

Sprague Library (Montclair Campus)

Using the call number, you can find a book on the shelves. If the call number starts with A-Q, it's upstairs. If it starts with R-Z, it's downstairs on the lower level.   Ask at the Access Services Desk for help.

Bloomfield College Library

Using the call number, you can find a book on the shelves. If the call number starts with A-PR4000, it's on the second floor. If it starts with PR6000, it's on the first floor.  Ask at the Front Desk for help.
