Books in Pollak Library are located on the 4th, 5th, & 6th floors of
the South Wing. Books are arranged on the shelves by Library
of Congress call numbers. These call numbers do a
valuable service: they group books on similar subjects together on the
shelf. For example, all the books on radio broadcasting will be near each
other. Here are some of the most popular call numbers for RTVF-related
subjects:
TK 6550
Radio
TK 6630
Television
HE 8689-8700 Broadcasting & Telecomm in general
PN 1994
Film (Motion Pictures)
QA 76.575
Multimedia (computer) |
While randomly browsing books on the shelf might be interesting, its not
effective when you need to find a specific book. To do that, use the
library's online catalog to look up a book. Then you'll be able to
find the Call number so you can find exactly where you book is
located. You can search the online catalog different ways:
by SUBJECT
example: television advertisingby KEYWORD(S)
example: censorship FCC
and by AUTHOR, TITLE, CALL#

What if CSUF doesn't own a book you want (or
on a topic you want)...or if the book is checked out to
someone elese? No problem. You have
options:
|
The Recall button
|
Clicking the "Recall" button at the book's online
catalog record will cause an email to be sent to the person with the
book, requiring them to finish and return it within 10 days |
|
Find-books-at-another-library |
Clicking "Find Books" at the library's homepage, then clicking "WordCat",
will let you search a powerful worldwide catalog that will show you
other, nearby libraries that might have the book (for example, Fullerton
Public Library) |
| Interlibrary
Loan |
If no local libraries have your book,
you can still get it by ordering it via Interlibrary loan. This is
a free service, and books arrive in usually 3-5 days. |
