Library Organization
Our libraries use the Library of Congress method to organize books. This means that each book has a unique letter and number combination that acts like a house address, which tells you where a book is located. It is the little sticker on the spine of the book. Similar books are grouped together so you can browse.
Call numbers looks like this:
RT 85 .F79 2008
Some useful locations to look for Nursing books are:
R - Medicine |

When doing research in the ENRT program, you will often be searching for multiple subjects or ideas.
For example, you could be looking for information on moose populations in a specific location.
To help you find a more relevant materials use BOOLEAN OPERATORS. This is a tool that allows you to combine different ideas into one search.
For example, you could search:
"moose populations" AND "Northwest Territories"
instead of
moose populations of the Northwest Territories
You will get two different groups of search results by using those two different search requests. For more information on boolean operators, click here.
