How to search for books in the Axinn Library

Our Online Catalog is available through the Axinn Library homepage. If you are looking for information about an artist, use a Subject search; for work by an artist, use an Author search. When you find the call number area, you can browse in the stacks. Browsing is an excellent way to get a sense of what we own.  Our books are organized by the Library of Congress classification system.  Circulating books are located on floors 4 through 8.
