Browsing the Shelves

The Central Library has the most computer science books. Most will be in the 004–006 call number range on the 5th floor, and don't forget the New Books section on the 4th floor.

If you don't see what you want, search the catalog. It's common for these books to be checked out, so you may need to place a hold.
