Where are the Books?
Areas of the library where books are stored are called "stacks." Most books in the humanities are shelved in Olin and Uris Libraries by call number, according to their Library of Congress classification. The guides below will show you which call numbers are on which floor. Pay special attention to the presence of plus (+) and double-plus (++) signs, since they indicate that the book is in an oversize section.
To find books by author, title, subject heading or keyword, you'll need to search the Library Catalog...
Finding Books in the Library Catalog
- Includes the holdings of 19 Cornell University libraries.
- Contains records for books, DVD's/videos, sound recordings, magazines/newspapers/journals, computer files, government documents, manuscripts and archives, maps, scores, and more.
Subject Headings to try:
"Superheros" and "antiheros" are not Library of Congress Subject Headings, but they can be searched as Keywords. Remember to use a ? to retrieve alternative word endings (e.g., hero? will retrieve hero, heroes, heroism, heroic).
OCLC WorldCat is a catalog of the holdings of books, journals, and other materials held by thousands of academic, public and other member libraries.
