If your assignment allows you to use books, start at the Pierce Library website and use the OneSearch box to search.
To find a book on the shelf in the Library, write down the call number (the book's address on the library shelf)--e.g., BJ 2121 .F47 2014.
TIP These shelves are called the "stacks."
Learn more about Library of Congress call numbers and how to use them. (Northwestern Universitry)
