Print Books: The area in which the print books are shelved (often called the bookstacks or stacks) is located in the West Wing of McFarlin Library. With the exception of the Lower Level, which is closed due to flood damage, the bookstacks are open to the public and you are free to browse them.
The library also offers a retrieval service. If you find a book you want, you may submit an online request for a book (or books). You'll be notified when the book is ready for you to come to the library for pick up at the Plaza Level Check-out Desk.
E-books: McFarlin has a substantial collection of electronic books. These are available online, 24/7. You will need to be a currently enrolled student in order to check these out. Many of these are on the ProQuest research database platform. ProQuest has an online help website devoted to providing support for users of these ebooks. Or you may contact the research librarians if you need assistance.
McFarlin uses the Library of Congress Classification System instead of the Dewey Decimal System. While the Dewey Decimal System uses numbers only, the Library of Congress System uses both letters and numbers, such as A78 .B45 2024. The first sets of letters and numbers are the location on the shelf while the last set of numbers is the publication date. Subjects are grouped together by letters.
