Service Alert
Before you can go to the shelf in the General Collection to locate your book, you must first make sure it is available (not checked out, not missing, not lost, etc.). You do so by looking at the "Status" cell on the far right of the three-celled table in the catalog record, circled in red below:
The green "Checked In" status lets you know that book is available on the shelf. If the status message is in red (such as "Checked Out," "Not Available," "Missing," or "Lost", for example), then that book is not available for you to check out and you will have to ask a librarian for help in locating it, or you may have to look for another book instead.
So before you go off with the title, author, collection, and call number written down in search of your book, remember to check that the the contents of the Status box are in green. Now go to the Retrieving Your Book box below to learn how to retrieve your book.
If the status of your book is in green, you are now ready to look for your book! Simply do the following:
Next, find the books (on the same side of the range that your call number falls within) that have 179 on their spines, then those with 179.3 S a little further along to the right of those, then those with 179.3 Sa.... a little further yet, until you locate your book between 179.3 Sa37a and 179.3 Su74a (see the screen shot below).
(If you're having trouble finding it, come downstairs and ask a librarian for help.)
Once you've found your book, retrieve it from the shelf and click on Step 7 in the left sidebar or at the bottom right to find out how/where to check it out.
