Pro Tips: Avery Library

 

Avery Library front entrance

 

Borrow Direct: Even when a book is available at Avery, you can use Borrow Direct to get materials you've found in the catalog from other libraries. Simply select "Requests" from CLIO's top navigation, and then "Borrow Direct." Now you can do your research from home! This works for ILL as well.

Avery Call Numbers: Avery Library uses multiple call number systems, which make it a little confusing to browse. You will find books on the same topic in multiple locations at Avery. See below for call numbers and their locations.
