Z - Bibliography

With the exception of the Chicago Manual of Style, it's been years since we've purchased anything in this category. Printed bibliographies for new science and technology materials are not nearly as relevant now as they were before internet search engines and web-based bibliographies became so effective.


Where are the new books?  The new book area is on the right as you enter the Science Library. Books are displayed on the glass shelves facing outward (toward the science center corridor) and in call number order on the wood shelves below.  All regular circulating books on the new book shelf are available for immediate checkout. Please search OBIS for stacks location and availability if the books are no longer on the new book shelf.
