You do not need a requisition form to borrow a book from open stacks. If you can borrow the book
go directly to the Circulation Desk
NOTE 2:
Not all books and serials have records in the on-line catalogue. To find them, you should also search
the card catalogues
NOTE 3:
There are no call numbers (Library of Congress Classification) in card catalogues. Therefore you
should always start searching from the on-line catalogue
We wish you successful searching!
Please ask a reference librarian for help
if you need it
