Finding Book Locations at Montgomery Library
TIGGER will give you a LOCATION and CALL NUMBER for each title. The location is general information about where the book is, and a call number gives you an exact location on the library shelf.
Some TIGGER Locations:
- MAINSTACKS – Circulating books located on the 1st Floor of the Montgomery Library
- MUSIC – Sheet music, scores and other items at the Music Library, on the Mezzanine Level of Montgomery Library
- REFERENCE – Items used only in the Montgomery Library building, kept on the 1st Floor
- ARCHIVES, COLVIN, KYARCH, CIVIL WAR – Special collections held on the 1st Floor Archives area of the Montgomery Library
- TLRC – Juvenile books and other circulating items on the Basement Level of the Montgomery Library
If you can't find an e-Book that you want in TIGGER, you can try reputable online sites. Some e-books are freely available on the Internet, because they are in the public domain (old enough to be excluded from copyright fees). Try these websites:
- Project Gutenburg is the most respected comprehensive public domain book site
- University of Virginia Text Center is a good resource for scholarly texts, manuscripts and popular novels written before 1930.
