Andrea shows a friend how to locate a book called "The Cave" at the library. She searches the library catalog at a computer near the help desk. The catalog provides the book's location, including the floor and call number. It also indicates the book is available. They take the stairs to the third floor where the book is located. Andrea writes down the call number and location from the catalog. By counting shelves, she is able to lead her friend directly to the copy of "The Cave".

1. Where do you go to find a book?
-Andrea and I met at the Library . This library
has almost every book you need.
How do you locate a certain book?
-Once in the library there are many ways you
can locate your book.
She then took me inside to start our search.

2. In this particular case I asked Andrea
to show me how to locate the book
The Cave. I read this book once
before, but online.
Where do we start? Andrea started
by typing the name of the book on
the library’s search catalog. There
was a computer available for us next
to the help desk.
How do you know where to go?
Once she typed the name of the
book it automatically tells you if it is
available for check out. Also give you
information on where to locate it in
the library.

3. Once she found the book
online she checked where the
book was located. This
information was given and the
numbers she looked for was
the PS3545. This number tells
where in the library it is
located. In addition this catalog
also tells you what floor to start
on.
As you can tell on the image to
the right, in green letters you
will see “Not checked out”
meaning that it is available
now and in stock.

4. We started in the first floor, and the book
we are locating is in the third floor. So we
took the stairs.
Andrea is there multiple copies of this book?
-At times there is multiple copies, if so that
information is given in the catalog search.
Is the third floor the only floor with this
copy?
-The book you are looking for will only be
located in one place and that information is
also given in the catalog. You rarely find
multiple locations for the same book.

5. As we began our search Andrea wrote down
the information given in the catalog. This
information was very well need once we left
the first floor and wondered through shelves
and shelves of books.
With the information given in the catalog we
were able to find the exact shelf where our
book is sitting.
As she was walking down the isles I noticed
she was counting down the rows of shelves.
She was able to lead me to my book.

6. And there you have
it!!!!!!
She was able to
locate my book!
