To find a specific book in the library, write down the entire call number and note the location (stacks, reference, etc.) and look for the book. Ask at the Navigation Desk if you need help!
Use keywords to find titles and browse nearby shelves for more books. Books are shelved by subject - see below.

302.2 Communication
302.23 Media (Means of communication)
302.231 Digital media
302.232 Print media
302.234 Motion pictures, radio, television
658.827 Use of brands and trademarks
658.83 Market research
If we don't have an article you need, order it! If unsure, use "Browse a List of Journal Titles" to see if we have the full text in another database. If not order it from us using Interlibrary Loan.
If we don't have a book you need, we may be able to borrow it from another library for you. Look it up in OneSearch first to see if it might be in an electronic collection. If we don't have it, order it from us using Interlibrary Loan.
If you need help in finding what you need, please ask for Research Help. An AUP librarian may be able to find what you need. We are happy to help you!
