Each LIBRARY lists thousands of books and resources on a computer called the LIBRARY CATALOG.
These are special computers where you can search for information in various ways:
by SUBJECT (KEY WORD)
by AUTHOR'S NAME
or BOOK TITLE.
Sometimes, the list of books and articles will have a special number you must write down to help you locate the book. This is the CALL NUMBER.
Keep a pen and paper handy.
In the Library Catalog system, it's better to use GENERAL or plain words. Don't try to be too SPECIFIC.
Spacedog: Read the instructions carefully, and ask the librarian if you don't understand something.
