Print Books

Print books are found on the top floor of Waggoner Library. Books are shelved by Library of Congress (LC) class system. LC uses letters of the alphabet along with numbers to create a call number.

For browsers, Business and Management books in print are shelved in the 'HF' or 'HV' categories on the second floor of the library.

Use your TNU ID to check out print books. Bring books to the circulation desks for checkout.
