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.
