NOTE 3:There are no call numbers (Library of Congress Classification) in card catalogues. Therefore you should always start searching from the on-line catalogue

NOTE 1:You do not need a requisition form to borrow a book from open stacks. If you can borrow the book go directly to the Circulation Desk
