Finding and Checking Out Books
Help! I can't find this book or journal on the shelf.
Double-check the location, call number, and status in the online catalog (see above). Additionally there are sorting rooms on each floor and nearby book trucks holding titles waiting to be re-shelved.
If the item is labeled "In Process" you should fill out the In Process / On Order Book Request form. If you still cannot locate the item, check the Trace A Missing Item page for further instructions. If the book is truly lost, it is often quicker to request the item from another library. See How do I find materials the UWM libraries do not own? for help with this process.
