Museum Studies: Find Books

Finding Books in the Library

The Library's collection in Museum  Studies is located at the Morisset Library. Books can also be stored at an off campus facility called the Library Annex. You can recall books from the Annex easily using OMNI.

The Library uses the Library of Congress classification  to organize its collections. Books in Museum Studies can usually be found in the AM class but can also be found in other subject classes according to content including visual arts (N), education (L) and  history (C,D, E, F)
