The computer Catalogue tells you where books or pamphlets are, by means of a classmark consisting of letters and numbers, e.g. GV 181.5. The online catalogue contains all recent books, but not all the older material. Many books on reading lists are kept in the Short Loan Collection on the Ground Floor , still arranged by the same classmarks. The detailed screen in the computer catalogue will tell you if one or more copies of that book are on Short Loan. If you are looking for a periodical article , search by periodical title in the computer catalogue.
Periodicals have classmarks, like books, and are arranged on the main floors by subject.
Recent, unbound parts are in the Reference Room on Floor 1. A number of heavily-used periodical articles are kept at the Circulation Desk on the Ground Floor. Colchester CO4 3SQ, United Kingdom. Copyright 1999 University of Essex. All rights reserved.
