Searching for a book in the reference room
The reference room house encyclopedias, handbooks, almanacs, and maps. The books areorganized by subject categories. To determine the category where a reference book would be classified under, look at the list posted on the door of room 118 labeled “Library of Congress Classification Schedules.”For some background information, I will look for a biography of Amelia Earhart.You can also look for background information by going online to these library databases:Credo Reference

Searching for a book in the catalog from the Minuteman Library Network
http://library.minlib.net/search~S15To conduct a subject or keyword search, enter a phrase in the search box and select“subject” or “keyword” and “Framingham State College” in the drop down menus. Tosearch for books in other libraries, select “All locations” instead of Framingham StateCollege.For example, here’s a subject search to find books on Amelia Earhart. By doing a subjectsearch, it can help you narrow your topic.Once you find a book, write down the call number to help you find the book in thelibrary.All full-time and part-time Framingham State College students can borrow books fromthe Whittemore Library, as well as other libraries within the Minuteman Library Network. Day and evening students must register with the library to activate the studentID barcode or student ID number. Borrowing privileges will expire when the student andare no longer affiliated with the college.I recommend that you do not limit your search only to Framingham State College. Youcan always request a book from another library within Minuteman Library Network.Usually books requested from the network are received within the week. You can alsoorder books from the Virtual Catalog, and the WorldCat database. These requests takemore time to process.
