Meteorology: finding your way

This guide outlines the location numbers for books on meteorology 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 meteorology

Where are the meteorology books?

• Most of the meteorology 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)
