Find Yourself on the Shelf

This event invites new students to explore the library catalogues and stacks to find a book that you believe will be used at some point in your major. Since the incoming students have such a wide range of interests, you can find any book you think is interesting. In this activity, you will build some more familiarity with the library and the call number system we use to find books (Library of Congress). This also creates an opportunity to engage with our librarians and library resources.

Once you find a book of your choosing, you can come to the “Ask Us” desk and find a Student Research Consultant to explain why you believe it’s relevant to you and your major or why you find it interesting for a small prize. Extra prizes for creativity!
