* HOW TO LOCATE A BOOK

When you search TSJC’s collection on-line, your search results will give you the author, title, call number, and location of the books that match your search.

For example, if you are looking for books on the “World Series”, one of the titles that will be listed is:

“Dickey, Glenn” (Author)

“The history of the World Series Since 1903” (Title)

“GV863.a1 D52 1984” (call number of the book)

“TRIN LRC STACKS” (located in the TSJC library stacks)

Library locations include:

· STACKS (Non-fiction) books are located on the first and second level in the library book stack room

· FIC (Fiction section), which is the last two shelves on the upper level of the stacks
