The book collection on the main floor in Crumb Library adjacent to the computers is our Reference collection. In this library, it is an area but in other libraries it may be a specific room.
The collection is comprised mainly of books you "refer" to in order to find background or specific factual information and are for use in the library only. Examples of reference books are dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibliographies and statistical compilations.
The collection is in organized by subject according to the Library of Congress classification, just as books in the stacks are.
All the books in this collection can be found by searching title or subject in our catalog, BearCat.
