Where In The Library Is That Book?

Finding a book in the library just got a little bit easier.

Late last week, the folks behind the UH Voyager catalog added the floor where the book is shelved to the location information in the records for all Hamilton Library materials. Now, when you look for the call number of a book, you'll also find where in the building it lives as well as a map of the floor.

Here's a screenshot (click to enlarge):















Now you won't need to divine what floor or what side of Hamilton to head to! Note that this location information does not appear for journals - this is because new issues are found on the first floor of the Addition, while older issues are on the upper floors, according to their call number. If you need to know the location of an older journal (or just want to memorize all the call number locations) you can always consult this diagram of the SciTech Wing.

Also, if you haven't tried the "Text me this call number" feature yet, you can read all about it in this post I wrote for Eileen's blog this summer.
