READING THE CATALOGUE RECORD

• Call number - a number that indicates where the book is located.
• Section - the letter identifying the relevant section of the collection.

FINDING A BOOK ON THE SHELVES

The student collection is divided into 12 sections marked with letters. Books in each section are arranged in numerical order.

Please note! English-language books are located on specially marked shelves near the Info2.
