General Collection

General CollectionThe Library of Congress classification system is used to organize our materials. A classification system outline is by the Help Phones.

You would usually start by finding a specific item and its call number in the Stout Library Catalog. The call numbers begin with A on the fifth floor and end on the third floor with Z. The books and audiovisual materials are shelved together.

There are signs at the ends of the stacks indicating the call numbers shelved there.

Group Study Rooms

Group Study RoomThere are two group study rooms behind the fourth floor elevator. These rooms allow for small group discussion and collaborative learning, but are not intended for individual study.

Rooms are equipped with boards which allow you to practice for classroom presentations, VCR and DVD players, and computers with both Web access and Microsoft Office Suite. There are also group study rooms on Floor 1.

Public Equipment Area

Public Equipment AreaHere you will find a copy machine and a variety of AV equipment to use with the AV materials shelved in the collection. Public Equipment Areas are located in the same places on floors 3-5 of the library.

In addition to several unique pieces of audiovisual equipment, each floor in the library has scissors, staplers, video tape and DVD players, projectors, slide machines, CD and audio tape players, as well as computer stations with Web access and Microsoft Office Suite.
