Biological sciences: finding your way
This guide outlines the location numbers for books on biological sciences and basic information on finding information in this subject.
- To find books on a specific topic search the Unicorn catalogue
- To find journal articles search Databases for biological sciences
Where are the biological sciences books?
- Most of the biological sciences books are on the 2nd Floor of the Library.
- Larger sized (Folio) books are shelved separately from normal sized books for practical reasons. You will find your key sections in both large (Folio) and normal sized sections.
- Pick up a floor plan from the Information Desk to help you find your way around. View the 2nd Floor plan (PDF)
