How do I know where an item is located?
Answer
- The library's location is listed in the column on the left side of the search results page.
- Ask a library staff member for guidance on finding an item at your campus library.
Tests do not have call numbers. Access to assessment materials is restricted. Your campus library policies regarding checking out these items can be found here .
Video, DVD or other A/V materials may have a number or call number. Ask the circulation staff for the location and/or retrieval of materials.
