New Library Signage for Help in Locating Items

Looking for a quick reference on where to find materials on particular legal topics in the law library?  The law library has just posted new signs that direct you to the Library of Congress call number ranges for particular subjects, from Administration of Justice (KF8700-8709) to Zoning (KF5691-5699).  Two signs are posted downstairs in the Library of Congress classified collection.  One should be visible at the bottom of each stairwell, posted at the end of the nearest shelving range.  There are also signs posted in the Reserve Room and next to the public access terminals on the main floor.

While the signs provide a quick reference, don't forget that subject searching is available through the library's online catalog, available on the Law Library's website.  Choose Advanced Search to limit your searching to subject fields. 

Did you know that you can also search by call number?  When you bring up a new search, choose Call Number as a search field, and type in the main part of the call number (for example, KF8700 -- no spaces).  The catalog will then locate other items that begin with the same Library of Congress class number.

For additional help in locating items in the law library, please ask any of the library staff for assistance.
