Locating the Books on the Shelves

Locating the Books on the Shelves 

This quick guide will show you how to locate printed resources at any Library site.

Firstly, you need to identify the item on the Library catalogue. In the Library Search text box, just type the title you are looking for and press on the Search. This should give you a list of catalogue results that match your search. Tick or untick filters on to widen or narrow your search.

Example of library catalogue search result

Location

To quickly see how many copies are available and where you can find them click on "see all".

'See all' option on the library catalogue

Alternatively, if you wish to have a complete overview of all the copies held in our collections click on the book title. The results will display in a list:

List of item copies available with collection and shelfmark details

The first part indicates the site where the book is located. It follows the collection details and the floor location. Tip! If a book is on your core reading list, it will probably be found in the Teaching Collection at Mile End Library.

Book Collection means that a book is in the main collection, which is spread between the First and Second floor of Mile End Library as shown below. 

Ground Floor

Teaching Collection - Core reading materials for all subjects

First Floor

North Reading Room: Science & Engineering; Shelfmarks Q-V; Literature; Shelfmarks PR-Z 

Second Floor

North Reading Room: Arts, Social Sciences and Law; Shelfmarks A-PQ

South Reading Room: Print Journals

Shelfmark

The shelfmark is the most important piece of information that you need. Indeed, each book, including DVD, CD-ROM, etc., has its own unique code which is attached to the book's spine.

When you select a shelfmark you will be able to see a pictorial representation of the shelf where the book is located including the adjacent items.

Pictorial representation of the shelf where a book is located

Write down the shelfmark and go to the appropriate floor. Refer to the Subject guide at the end of the shelves to find the range of shelfmark numbers that are located in that section.

Our example of shelfmark will be found on the shelf with the range from QL 607.5 to QM 306.

List of subjects and their shelfmarks

If the catalogue shows there are no copies currently available for loan, you will be able to place a reservation. Find out how to reserve a book on our borrowing basics pages

Tip! Journals are all on the First Floor (North Reading Room), no matter the subject; however, most of our journal subscriptions are now online only. Check out the catalogue or our lists of E-journals by Subject and A-Z Databases to find the materials you need. 

Journals are divided by subject. Within the subject, they are in alphabetical order by title. When you find the journal you were looking for, volumes and issues follow the chronological order. Law journals and law reports are located in the Law section (First Floor South Reading Room). Tip! The North Reading Room is the large one, the South Reading Room is the smaller one on both floors.

For a more comprehensive list of subjects and shelfmarks please see the drop down menu below.

If you are having difficulty locating a book or journal, or have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Good luck with your research!
