CHE 104: Books

A guide to provide CHE 104 students with resources for the claims project.

Finding Books

Search Strategies:

When you find a book in the Catalog that you like:

  • Click on the link beneath the book for more information, often a summary or table of contents, to see if the book will be useful to your research. 
  • Click on the terms to the right of Subject (LCSH) to see a list of all the books that have been tagged with that subject heading.
  • Click on the call number to see books that are around it on the shelf and likely on the same topic. 
  • You can also text yourself the call number!

Now you're ready to go to the shelves to find your books.

  • Call numbers can be found:
    • STACKS location = third floor
  • When you find a book on the shelf that seems useful to your topic, look around it for other possible resources.
  • Books in the stacks can be checked out for four weeks. Take your books to the Desk--you must have your Parkland ID!
