Print books (books physically on the shelf) have a call number which helps you locate them on the shelf.
Books are in alphabetical, then numeric order on the shelves. Each shelf has a sign to indicate which range of books are on each shelf.
Anatomy of a call number (UC Santa Cruz)
Click on the book title or location in OneSearch. Scroll down a bit to the section Get It which will list Location Items.
To the right of each Location is a Map It! option which will show you what bookcase the book is located in in the Library.
If you have a little time, you can also request the book and pick it up at the Library later. You can even request it be sent to another CUNY Library if a location is more convenient for you.
