Books in the Library

Finding Books in the Fisher Library

 

Use the library catalogue to find books. Start with a keyword search. When you have found a useful title click on the hyperlinked subjects on the catalogue record to find other relevant titles. Also browse the library shelves at the call numbers you have found in the catalogue. Remember to browse the Quarto books at the same number.

Many of our low-use history books are kept in the Vault. These will show on the library catalogue as Stack (Vault). Please ask a librarian if you would like to borrow these. If you would like to browse the collection in the Vault please ask a librarian. (week days only - not nights or weekends).
