Browsing the Stacks
In addition to searching the library’s online catalog, it’s important to also physically browse the stacks, as you could come across something that you might not otherwise have discovered through a catalog search.
Tip: WorldCat Discovery’s “Browse the Shelf” feature, located at the bottom of records for books owned by BGC, aims to recreate the experience of browsing the library in person by showing items with neighboring call numbers:
