Floor Maps of the HAM-TMC Library




Current
Journals
Current journals are those received in the most recent 6-12 months. These are located on the first floor, shelved alphabetically. Journals received during the last two days are placed on separate shelves at the beginning of the current journal stacks. (If the official journal title is an acronym, the journal will be shelved at the beginning of the first letter. For example, BMJ (British Medical Journal) is kept at the start of the "B" section.)


Bound
Journals
Bound journals are kept on the second floor, shelved alphabetically. As with the current journals, if the official journal title is an acronym, the journal will be shelved at the beginning of the first letter. For example, BMJ (British Medical Journal) is kept at the start of the "B" section.


Core
Collections
The core collection includes course reserves and textbooks the Library tries to make available at all times. They can be checked out from the Circulation Desk for use in the Library. Generally, additional copies of the same title are in the main book section.


Reference
Collection
The reference collection is kept in the waist-high wooden shelves on the first floor near the main entrance. (Selected reference items are kept in the Reference Storage area acessible by going down the staircase near the reference collection.)


Books
Most books are kept on the first floor towards the rear of the Library building. Oversized books are shelved on the second floor towards the front of the building.


Audiovisuals
Audiovisual materials are shelved on the first floor near the Circulation Desk.
