Where to find print materials on Marine Science in the Rohrbach Library:

The Rohrbach Library uses the Library of Congress (LC) classification system to group our books, scores and curriculum materials by subject on the shelves. The call number is on the white pressure label on the spine or front oover.  Every LC number starts with one or two letters. The letters for Marine Science are:

• GC = Oceanography
• GE = Environmental Science

At the Rohrbach Library, the "G "s are on the first floor near the coffee shop at the back of the building (towards DeFran)

The letters for Biological Sciences are "QH" through "QR"

• QH = Biology in general
• QK = Plant Sciences
• QL = Zoology
• QR = Microbiology

The "Q"s are on the second floor, on the left, along the front of the building (toward Sharadin)
