- | Physical Sciences and Engineering Library: | + | All microforms are now cataloged to the W.E.B. Du Bois Library. Formerly, microforms were cataloged to the former three branch libraries: Music Library, Morrill Biologivcal Science Library, and the Physical Sciences and Engineering Library. Former science microforms call numbers are prefaced by "S". For example Microfiche S221, which distinguishes it from Microfiche 211, which was a Du Bois collection. This is an important distinction to bear in mind when looking for microforms, as the "S" series and regular series are in different cabinets. Music Library microforms have been incorporated into the Du Bois numbering scheme. |
