Space Designation: Collaborative

This area is designated for groups to gather and work together with consideration for others. Expect to hear conversations, group activity, and limited cell phone usage.

You can reach this floor using any corner stairwell, or the main elevator that is located to the right of the main entrance on the first floor.

The third floor is designated as a collaborative space, but is typically one of the quieter floors. Note that the lower level is our designated “quiet” floor.

Collections

Most of the third floor is filled with shelves of books which are organized using the Library of Congress Classification System. Some of the collections you will find on this floor include:

To find a specific book search the Library Catalog or inquire with the Willis Library Services Desk. If you need help locating an item in the stacks, a shelver may be available to assist you.
