I am going to a university library for the first time tonight and assume there will be thousands of books. Is there a technique (appart from using my eyes) that will allow me to find quickly the books I need? Can anyone tell me the phonenumber for the owl nurse? An owl has fell out of a tree in my back garden and its looks like it has broken its neck, as it's head is the wrong way round, ie, back to front. |

you've got to save it! think of the poor owl babies wh'll be crying for their mummy. i went to a library once. I think, if i remember correctly the books are arranged alphabetically by author. A coming before B and C coming before D etc. stick at it and I'm sure you'll find the book you want. Good luck! |

Apart from using your eyes you can magically point your finger, it helped with my dissertation no end |

Well they should have a computer that'll tell you what they have. Search by keywords and that and it'll tell all teh info you need such as aisle and shit. |

And if you don't want to use your eyes, some libraries have a braille section, I think. |

they will hace a computerised catalogue system. go in type in the author or title or whatever and it'll tell you a number which should be on its spine, books are arranged numerically according to their subject. thats how it was at mine anyway. owls, not sure phone the rspca. |

i beg to differ... categorically...books are put in accordance tho thier type of reference...universityy libraries in particualr are like this... journal areticles have their own section (room) to their reference book counterparts... as do the dictionaries etc... novels may appear along with the subject matter in the section, eg: science novels for a certain subject area in biology for instance... you can also access free online up-to-date journal articles on line too!!! www.sciencedirect.com (i am presently residing in a university library right now!) |

I didn't go to Uni so I was guessing. Listen to the lady here! |

FIRST, ask the librarian to find you some books on the subject of library catalogue numbering and classification system |
||||||||
|

Isn't that called the "Dewey Decimal System"? Yes, most uni libraries have PCs that will give you the reference for aisle etc. they also tend to have people who'll help you if it's first time... just look for an undersexed looking female librarian and they'll help you out. |
