Books in the library:
Don't get discouraged if you don't find much on your topic in the library computer catalog. For example, if you don't get many results for 'Zeus' you need to search for a broader category such as 'mythology.' __Find a more general book on your topic__ and then use the __table of contents__ or the __index__ in the back of the book.

When you write down the call number of a book, make sure you also write down the author's name and the title of the book. There may be several books with the same call number because they are on the same topic/subject.

Frustrated? Ask Mrs. Tarr for assistance. She is the teacher who puts those numbers on the books and determines how they are listed in the computer catalog. If we've got a print source on your topic, she's going to be able to help you find it. Please don't ever walk out of this library without the information you came in to find!
