Using Catalogs: Use the
Stewart Library Catalog
to find the location and availability of books and other media in
Stewart Library. Most of the books about Physics are located on
level two of the library in the General Collection under the QC
call number. Another resource to find books in libraries outside
the Stewart Library is Worldcat.
It is a catalog of books, web resources, and other materials from
a large number of libraries.
From Bookstores: Order books online from Amazon
Books or Barnes and
Noble. Also use Books
in Print sources as needed.
Interlibrary Loan: If we do not own a particular book or article
you need, we will borrow it for you from another library through
Interlibrary Loan.
Reference resources include
encyclopedias, dictionaries and other materials you use to "refer"
to. Use these resources for background information on a topic.
