top right hand corner

14. Now you’re ready to search
0Type your topic into the box that says
Search All Available Items
0Look at the line below the search box.
0For books or e-books, click the arrow
beside “All Items” and change that to
“Books” or “E-Books”
0Then, click on Search

17. Find the book on the shelf
0 For each book, look at the third line (below title and
author)
0 If the book is on the shelf, it will say “Available”
0 If the book is checked out, it will say so (in red)
0 If the book is on the Daytona campus, it will say
“Daytona State/Daytona”
0 Books that say “Daytona State/West” are in the
DeLand campus library
0 If you need the book sent to another campus, you can
request it (see below)

19. Reference or Circulation?
0 If the book says Circulation, it can be checked out.
Circulating books at the Daytona campus are on the
first floor of the library.
0 If the book says Reference, it cannot be checked out.
You may use it within the library but cannot take it out
of the building. You can make copies of anything you
like.
0 If the book says Circulation/UCF, ignore the UCF part.

21. The Call Number
0 The call number is what you need to write down.
0 It is the exact location of the book on the shelf.
0 Books are shelved alphabetically by the first two
letters, then numerically after that.
0 Sometimes you will have to look at the front of the
book for the call number, if the book is very thin.
0 Books are filed by subject. If you find one good book
on your subject, the other books like it will be right
beside it.

23. Checking out your books
(Daytona and DeLand)
0 Once you have found your books, take them to the
Circulation Desk, at the front door of the library, to
check out.
0 You may check out books for two weeks, and renew
them once. (Bachelor’s degree students may keep
books for four weeks.)
0 A fine of 25 cents/day will be collected on overdue
books.

to other campuses
0 If you are on a campus without a library (Flagler,
Deltona, ATC, New Smyrna Beach), you can request
that the book be delivered to you.
0 If you are on the DeLand campus, and the book you
want is in Daytona (or vice versa), you can also
request the book.
0 If a book is checked out, and you want to be notified
when it is returned, you can request the book.
0 If you are on the same campus as the book, and the
book is not checked out, you have to go get the book
yourself.
