Circulating
Books
As you exit the stairwell
on the upper level, the circulating book collection (books that can be
checked out) is directly ahead of you. Hanging from the ceiling are signs
directing you to specific ranges of call numbers. In addition, on the
end of each shelving unit is a sign with specific ranges of call numbers for books contained on those
shelves. The books and other items on this level are arranged on the shelves
according to the
Library
of Congress Classification System.

Quiet Study Areas
 This
floor has some designated Quiet Study Areas where you can get some serious
studying done. Wander into the stacks to find these quiet places
when
you need to
get away from your noisy dorm or roommates. There is also an area along
the northwest wall that is nice and quiet.
Restrooms on the second
level are located directly behind the stairwell.
To visit the
next stop on the tour (the lower level), return to the stairwell, and go
down to the lowest level of the library. Elevator access is available
on the south wall of the upper level of the library.
