Okay, so what are the steps involved in finding a book?

Here's what you do:

• Search the library catalog to find out if the library owns the book (or other item) you need

• Write down its call number and note the collection as well (general collection, reference collection, Emirates collection, etc.)
• Use this information to go to the correct shelf to find the item
• Library catalogs may also include items found on the Web (electronic books, encyclopedias and dictionaries mostly).  For these items, go to the online location by clicking on the URL provided.
