Finding Books in the Library
1.
Finding Books in theTavistock
Library
2.
As in most
libraries, the documents in the Tavistock library are organised by shelfmark.
3.
You will find
the shelfmark for a book at the bottom of its record on the catalogue.
4.
You can also
see if the document is located in the book room or in the main library.
5.
TheTavistock Library uses a classification system
called BLISS.
6.
It works by theme,
so books on a same topic are placed next to each other.
7.
For example: - A
is for philosophy - C is for chemistry - S is for law - W is for arts - …
8.
Most of the books
in the library start with an i because i is for psychology
9.
BLISS works a
little like the Dewey, but uses mostly letters instead of numbers.
10.
You read the
shelfmarks from left to right and compare them letter by letter, alphabetically.
11.
Example: ISP BLV IM
12.
Example: ISP BLV IM Both of
those shelfmarks start with an i.
13.
Example: ISP BLV IM So we
need to look at the second character.
14.
Example: ISP BLV IM M goes
before S so the book with the shelfmark IM will be placed before the one with ISP BLV
15.
If a shelfmark
includes a number, remember that numbers go before letters.
16.
So for example: ISX
3ML ISX A The 3 first characters of the shelfmark are the same (ISX) so we look at the 4th.
17.
So for example: ISX
3ML ISX A Since numbers go before letters, ISX 3ML will go on the shelf before ISX A.
18.
Finally, if two
books have the same shelfmark, then they will be ordered alphabetically by the surname of the first author.
19.
So this graphic
novel by Katie Green will go before the one by Paul Karasik.
20.
And if you’ve
got lots of books by the same author (like our extensive collection of Freud’s works) then do check their volume number!
21.
If you still
can’t find the document you’re looking for… then ask a librarian!
22.
Thank you for
reading and see you in the library! TheTavistock and Portman Library
