- Library Instruction:
- A service designed to provide
information on how to use the library and locate information more
efficiently. Library instruction may also be referred to as
Bibliographic Instruction.
Library of Congress Classification:
- A classification system
developed by the Library of Congress (LC) that is used to organize the
collections of many academic and research libraries.
This alpha-numeric system arranges materials by subject. Each subject or
class is represented by a series of letters and
numbers, which are used to create an LC call number. An example
of an LC call number is TL 789.8 U5 H49 1997. This is the
call number for the book Countdown : a history of space
flight that can be found in the Undergraduate Library. The
Library of Congress classification system is one of two systems used in
the University of Texas Libraries, the other is the Dewey Decimal Classification
System. See Also: Dewey Decimal Classification
System
Loan Period:
- The amount of time you may borrow a book or
other item from the library. The time varies depending on the type of
material borrowed and the status of the
borrower. Loan periods can change if another library patron issues
a recall for an item.
