Tips: "Call Number begins with..." searches

Close this window

Use the Call Number begins with... search to look up a specific book when you know its call number, or to browse through related books just as you would on the library shelves.

If you type the complete and exact call number, including all decimal points and spaces, Pathfinder will retrieve the matching item.

Example
You search:    ps3515.u274.a6 1990

Pathfinder retrieves:
PS3515.U274 A6 1990
Selected poems of Langston Hughes / drawings by Hughes, Lang

If Pathfinder doesn't find the exact call number you typed, you can browse forward or backword in a list of call numbers near it:

Example
You search:    ps3563.o8749

Pathfinder shows you this list:
     PS3563.O87475 H36 1997     Happening / Morrison, Madison.  
     PS3563.O87475 M4912 1998   Lun hui / Morrison, Madison.
