Searching the non-fiction collection for books

The diagram below can assist you in finding print books in the non-fiction collection.  Use this to help navigate you to particular areas of the collection.

Alternatively, search eLibrary (always a good place to start first, and then note down all the relevant Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) numbers that your search of the library catalogue discovers). You may find that books of interest are located in different areas of the collection (that is, be aware that you won't find all books on a particular subject area in one location). Remember that eLibrary will help you find both print and digital resources.
