Congratulations! You have now learned how do all the following:
- Locate the library's home page at barton.libguides.com
- Locate the library catalog ("Physical Books and Media"), and search it for items on your topic
- Filter your results to include only print books by clicking on the "Book" link under "Format" in the left sidebar of your search results screen
- Click on the title of the book you want to find to go to a more detailed record about that book
- Read the catalog record to identify the Collection (location in the library), the Shelf Location (Dewey Decimal Number) within the Collection, and the Status (to make sure it is available on the shelf)
- Write down the author/title, the collection (remember that many of our materials are located in the General Collection on the second floor), and the complete call number, and take that information with you to find the book on the shelf, using the signs on the ends of the shelf ranges to help you.
- Check out your book by retrieving it and taking it to the Circulation Desk on the first floor, along with your Barton ID.
- And remember, anytime you get stuck or can't find the book or other item you're looking for, come find a librarian to help you!
Now, go to Step 8 in the left sidebar or at the bottom right to take the Assessment for completing this Bulldog Skills Workshop. (You MUST complete and post the assessment to receive complete credit for completing this workshop!)
