Call numbers indicate a shelf location for a particular book, and books of the same subject are grouped together on the library's shelves. You can browse books within the library by subject by locating the call number ranges from the list below. Pfeiffer Library uses Library of Congress Classification, which is a very common system for organizing materials in academic and research libraries worldwide. This means that if you visit another university's library, you will likely be able to quickly locate your favorite book sections by using these same call number ranges.

If you need assistance locating a specific book, or interpreting a call number, feel free to contact your librarian. 

There are three ways to perform a basic search in DragonQuest:

• Keyword
  This is the default search. It is a search strategy similar to using Google.
   
• Title 
  When you enter DragonQuest, choose 'Title' from the drop down arrow. This strategy works best when you know most of the title.
   
• Author
  When you enter DragonQuest, choose 'Author' from the drop down arrow. Be sure to type in the 'LastName, FirstName' format.

For more search strategy tips, contact your librarian.
