Overflow Shelves
Do you know about the overflow shelves?
As any visitor to the Arts Library quickly learns, we have more books than physical space. Many of our books are stored in the Southern Regional Library Facility (SRLF); they are listed in the catalog and can be requested online. If you are looking for recently returned books, you’ll often find them on the 3rd floor shelving carts next to the elevator. We also have an “overflow” area on the 1st (bottom) floor, arranged by call number with the regular size titles on the shelves at the bottom of the stairs and the oversize titles on the left-hand shelves against the wall. These books are often in tight call number ranges where we can’t reshelve them right away. It’s a useful additional place to look when you can’t find a book on the regular shelves.
As always, if you can’t find locate materials on the shelves, ask that we put a search on the item for you. A search request can also be made online.
