You can use the library's catalog to find many books and other materials such as videos, government publications, and more.
Can't make it into the library or want to see all of the options available to you? Try looking at some of our Ebook collections! Some of these books are discoverable in the catalog, but others can only be discovered by searching the databases themselves. Here are some of the best bet places to look for ebooks:
Indicated in the image below, there are a couple of sections that are particularly helpful in looking at the book record to see if it is something that might be useful for your project.
The Bentley Library uses the Library of Congress (LC) Call Number System as a way to organize our books. These books are shelved by subject, so if you go to look for a book in the library - you might find others on your topic on the shelf right near the one you were looking for!
LC Call numbers are "read" alphanumerically. Look for the letters first, then the numbers!
If you need help finding a book in the building, please ask at the Reference Desk or the Library Services desk for help!
