Locating Geography Books

The BC3 Library has both print and electronic books that can help you learn about geography and maps. They are all listed in the BC3 Library Catalog where you will find Dewey call numbers to locate books on the shelves (lower level of the library) and links to connect you to e-books. E-books can also be searched separately in our two e-book collections: e-Book Central by Proquest and e-Book Collection by EBSCO.

Browsing the Stacks

Books on geography and travel can be found in the 910 area of the shelves.
