There are two areas where non-reference books are shelved at the Foster Library, the Browsing Collection against the east wall of the reading room, and the general stacks in Room 271. Books are arranged by Library of Congress call numbers. Call numbers can be found in the card catalog located near the desk. The card catalog provides author, title, and subject access to books at the Foster Library. If you have trouble finding a book, please ask for help at the desk.
Books can be check ed out for two week periods without renewal.
Exceptions include reserve and reference books. Reserves Many professors in the Department of Economics and the School of Public Policy place course materials on reserve at the Foster Library. These are available at the desk, with a list of materials provided in a blue binder. In addition, many seminar papers are placed on reserve. Seminar schedules are also available.
