What are the "Main Stacks?"
Answer
When searching in the Library Catalog you may find a book located in the "Main Stacks." This is referring to the general collection of circulating materials located on the 3rd and 4th floors.
Ensure the book is available (1) and make a note of the Call Number (2), as you will need this to determine shelf location. Call Numbers beginning with A-G are on the 3rd floor, and those beginning with H-Z are on the 4th floor. "What is a Call Number?"
Materials from the Main Stacks are generally loaned for the maximum period determined by your status (Undergraduate, Graduate, PhD, Faculty, Staff).
