Libraries have always offered several ways of finding material and browsing the shelves within a subject range has certainly always been an option!
In the IRC, browsing a call number range isn't particuarly helpful, because our call numbers aren't based on subject headings. The catalog becomes essential, then, for finding material.
However, it is clear that our patrons like being able to browse the DVD collection! For some time, we have put empty DVD cases in display cabinets in the IRC and you could easily see what was in at any time for loan. However, we are running out of space in the display cabinets and would like to use the display cabinets for their intended purpose - displays!
We will continue to designate one cabinet for our DVD feature films, but by September, you will need to use the catalog to search for documentary/academic or Christian education titles.
If you need help in learning how to find our visual material that isn't in a display case, please come by and Norma or I will be glad to show you.
