LibGuides: FNAR 391: Senior Thesis in Art History: Navigating the Stacks

Where are the books?

The Loyola Library catalog includes a variety of resources, including books and print journals, but where do you locate the physical item in the library?

Cudahy Library, on the Lake Shore Campus, contains the print collections for art history. You can find:

Print journals on the lower level
Oversized books (including many exhibition catalogs) on the lower level (Stack Deck A)
Reference materials on the first floor, in the reference collection (Stack Deck B)
Books on the second floor

Loyola uses the Library of Congress classification system; materials on art are located in Class N in the following call number ranges, if you would like to browse the stacks:

N: Visual Arts
NB: Sculpture
NC: Drawing, Design, Illustration
ND: Painting
NE: Print media
NX: Arts in general
TR: Photography
