Libraries are Information! not just books

Libraries will give you information about anything you want to know; in your studies; in your jobs; in any research you want to do and in anything you are interested in.

Information is in books, journals, encyclopedias, directories, dictionaries, indexes and abstracts, on tapes, on records, on films etc.

Can You find the information you want?

Can You use the card catalogues?

The card catalogue will (only) tell you the titles of books, periodicals, records etc. in the library. The main catalogues are on the main floor of the Library.

Look in the north end cabinets for the listing of the author or title of the book you want. The titles of the library's periodicals are also held there, along with composers and titles of musical works or records, and books about people or their works (biographies, criticisms, interpretations etc.)

The cabinets at the south end are the subject catalogue. If you want a book on a specific subject look up that subject or any subjects which are similar.

The catalogue in periodicals will only tell you the titles of the periodicals that the library has, not what is in them (to find that out you will have to use a periodical index or abstract). It also has under broad subject headings the titles of related periodicals.
