If you identify a print book that you wish to locate in the library, you use the call number to locate it on the shelf.
The Guide to Locating Books handout outlines the process of locating a book on the shelf and the Library of Congress Classification System handout provides a broad outline of the system we use to organize the books on the shelves by topic.
The library offers about 42,000 print books and over 590,000 Ebooks! Use Primo to locate them - select the Everything option if you are looking for Ebooks and then limit to Material Type "Books."
Need help with something? Ask Us for Help!
If you are on-campus you are encouraged to stop by the Library and ask for help, we welcome the opportunity to work with you.
If you are off-campus and we are open your best option is to call the Reference Desk at 315-786-2482 and ask for one of us. You can also contact us via email or if you need immediate assistance and we are not open, you can chat with a librarian online (likely not a JCC librarian, but helpful nonetheless) as outlined on our "Ask for Help" web page.
We look forward to working with you!
