How is the Library Organized?

The Library's on-site book and DVD collections are on the main and lower levels. The books are organized by the Library of Congress Classification system, and the DVDs are organized numerically (DVD 1, DVD 2, and so on).

Juvenile books are organized by the author's last name, then by year of publication.

The Library has 120,000 book and 6,000 DVDs. Its online collections include 45,000 journals, 8,000 music scores, 7,000 music albums, and 6,000 videos.

Older and lesser-used Library materials are kept in an off-campus facility. Only SXU alumni, faculty, staff, and students can request the return of books in storage. The books are returned to the Library in one business day.

Here is a quick tutorial about the Library of Congress call numbers from the Douglas College Library.
