Library Search can also allow you to search for books outside of the Birmingham Newman Library collection and order an inter-library loan.
A 'shelfmark' or 'call number' is a number that tells you where a book an be found in the library. Our main lending collection is on Level 2. Each row of shelves has a poster on the end that tells you what shelfmarks can be found there.
You can use the table on this page to see the general areas that main topics in your subject are shelved. Sometimes, casually browsing the shelves can turn up some great resources!
A shelfmark with two or three letters preceding it means that the book is not shelved in the main collection.
