Where do I find the (history, Texas, psychiatry, etc.) section?
Answer
The library organizes it's items with the library of congress classification system (LOC).
- Browse the Library of Congress website to find the specific heading for your subject area.
- Find your call number heading on our Maps and Floor Plans to get the general location of your subject area.
