BOOKS
They have call numbers like HN59.2 .G56 2011 so that we can group them by subject and still have a way to find them on the shelf. Hint: They're alphabetical by call number.

Catalog
We have a lot of books, and we can't remember all their call numbers on our own. So we keep a catalog, where we can look up any book by stuff we *can* remember--author, title, keyword, or subject--and find out what its call number is.
Magazines
For your reading pleasure.

Newspapers
Because sometimes your roommate recycles your copy before you got a chance to read it.

Journals
Because we know you can't afford to buy every journal that has articles you need for your research.

Databases
Because it would stink to have to leaf through hard-copy journals, magazines, and newspapers looking for articles on your topic.
Internet Access
So you can do research, and stuff.
Computers
Because how else were you planning on researching and playing games simultaneously? And we have word processing on our computers, too.

Printers
Because sometimes it's nice to take the hard copy home with you.

Copiers
Because we'd rather you didn't write in our books.

Movies
Oh, yeah! And they're free!

Music
It's free. And it's legal, too.

Other cool stuff for check out
It varies from library to library, but some libraries have skeletons. Some have digital cameras. Some have both, and more!

Seating
Because we know it can be a little overwhelming, when we tell you all this is free.

Librarians
So you can ask for help instead of being overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of what we're offering.
