Get started with the SAILS Catalog
- HELM Library Catalog
Search the collections of the BCC Libraries, plus other southeastern MA college libraries using one common catalog.
How do I locate a book on the shelf at BCC Libraries?
While it is certainly convenient to search the catalog and have books sent to your local library for pick up, browsing the collections of a library can be very productive; often revealing sources as good as - if not better - than what you initially found in the catalog! Below is the shelf range for books on the subject of mathematics and related topics and their approximate location on the shelf as identified by the Library of Congress Classification System. If you need help finding your way around the library 'stacks,' ask any library staff member!
