Circulating Books
As you exit the stairwell to the upper level, the circulating book collection (books that can be checked out) is directly ahead. Hanging from the ceiling directly between the rows of shelves are signs directing you to specific ranges of call numbers. In addition, posted on the end of each shelving unit is a sign with specific ranges of call numbers for books contained on those shelves. Books and media resources are arranged on the shelves according to the Library of Congress Classification System. Directly to the left of the stairwell exit on the second floor is a photocopy machine. Turn left at the stairwell exit and take a walk to the famous blue couches. The library has 61 blue couches for lounging, studying and dreaming. Restrooms on the second level are located directly behind the stairwell.
Special Collections is located on the upper level of the library directly to the right as you exit the stairwell. Special Collections contains the SDSU Archives, materials related to South Dakota history and life, and houses the Alfred G. Trump Reading Room. These collections include manuscript and archival materials, books, serials, audiovisual materials and photographs. Special Collections is open limited hours and by appointment. For more information, see the Archives and Special Collections Department. 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. |
