Glossary - What We Mean to Say

  • Call number: A call number (made up of letters and numbers) is like an address: it tells us where the book is located on the library shelves.  Call numbers are also arranged by subject.
  • Stacks: An area of the library where most of our books, DVDs, and CDs are shelved.
  • Reserves: Our collection of books, DVDs, and articles on loan for 2-hours.  These are usually textbooks or material provided by your instructors.  Located behind the front desk, just ASK!
