Looking for a book in the stacks? Don't pull your hair out over a call number! Learn more, swipe right. Animated squirrel wagging its tail captured from our PRIMO search engine. Image of a male pulling his hair, showing frustration.

At Van Wylen Library, we use the Library of Congress (LC) classification system. Our library users don't need to memorize the classification outline! When you search for a book on PRIMO, the Call Number will include the floor location. Floor maps provide a general location.

Locating a book can get tricky! The Research Help Desk is happy to help you find what you're looking for. Just ask!

Want to play a game? This game was created by one of our library staff. Scan the QR code to access the game. Let us know how you did! Image of cell phone shows the game.

We understand that finding a book in the library stacks can be difficult. Here is a brief introduction to our classification system and a fun game at the end to test your knowledge! #academiclibrary #hopecollege #vanwylenlibrary
