ZA Information resources (general)
Remember that books that have call numbers beginning with
the letters A-Q are in the back of Room 5. Books with call numbers beginning
with the letters R-Z are in the Learning Resource Center (LRC) next to Room 5.
There are exceptions--for example, all reference books (with REF in their call
numbers) are in Room 5. Periodicals, cards, kits, VHS tapes, and the HCI
collection are also in Room 5. CDs, DVDs, flash drives, and government
documents (the Gov Docs section) are in the LRC.
