Find Books in the Children's Collection

 

You can also search all of our holdings and limit to items held in our Children's Collection. 

  1. From the Cal Poly Humboldt Library home page, select the OneSearch Advanced Search button.
  2. At the top of the form, ensure that “Search for” selection is Search the Library
  3. Enter the search terms for the item or keywords for the type of material you are searching for. 
  4. Run the search using your keywords to create your results list
  5. On the results page, look for Location on the left side of the page and select Children's Literature Collection. 

Please note: Books in this collection are organized differently than the library's other collections. Nonfiction works are organized using the Dewey Decimal System, and Fiction works are shelved in alphabetical order by author last name. Picture books have the call number "E", and Fiction is labeled with the call number "X".
