To find a book in the Library stacks, do the following: 

1. Visit the Library <u>[homepage](https://library.macewan.ca/)</u>.
2. From the catalogue search box, enter the full title of the textbook and put it in double quotation marks. Or you can search using the title along with the author’s last name; if there is more than one author, just use the first author’s last name.
3. Hit the **Enter** key or the **Search **button.
4. If there are multiple copies of your book in other NEOS libraries in your search results, you can limit your search results to just MacEwan Library by clicking on **MacEwan University** under the Location option on the left on the search results page.
5. Click on the brief record of item in the search results to get the full record for your book item.
6. Record the call number from the “MacEwan Libraries” pane on the right of the full record.
7. If the item status is **On Shelf**, go into the stacks on the third floor to retrieve your textbook using the call number to locate the item. If you are having trouble locating your book in the stacks, ask for help at the Library Services Desk.
8. If the item status is **Textbooks**, then go to the Library Services Desk with your call number and textbook title, and a Library staff member will retrieve the book for you from our Reserve collection.
