The library offers both Item Retrieval Services and Interlibrary Loan Services for faculty, staff, and students.
Item Retrieval Services are are for items that the UR Libraries owns in print format. This DOES NOT include DVDs, Videos, and Music CDs.
Interlibrary Loan Services are for items not owned by the library.
Our Library uses what's called Library of Congress Classification. This is just a fancy way to say that the books we have are shelved by subject and that we use call numbers (that start with letters) to know what shelf a book is located on. Those call numbers are directly tied to their subject. So for example, a book on animal behavior would be with all of the other QL books.
For those of you wanting to just go to the shelves and browse here are some of the Computer Science related call numbers.
