AHS ENG: Argument-Based Research

Finding Books

To find books on a particular topic, use the Carteret CC Library Catalog. All of the library's print resources, including books, encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, and DVDs, are available in the catalog.
 
Once you’ve found a book in the catalog, you’ll want to find it on the shelf using the Call Number and Location.  While most collections circulate, books located in the Reference Collection can only be used in the library.
