Finding Relevant Books in Virgo
Many books are now in off-site storage at Ivy Stacks, so it still may be useful for you to look up a topic in Virgo – say Supernatural or Mythology or Monsters and find a call number then browse around that.
Some Subject Headings in Virgo that may be useful:
- Supernatural
- Myth
- Mythology
- Ghosts
- Ghost Stories
- Paranormal Fiction
- Monsters
- Witchcraft
You can also use the virtual browse feature in Virgo. When you have selected a catalog record in Virgo, you can choose the green “bookshelf” to the right of the call number to look at the virtual bookshelf which will show you all titles around that title, no matter the library location:
If you select any of the other books on the virtual shelf, you will be taken to that catalog record and can find where it is located.
