Serendipitous Browsing and Chance Encounters

Book Browsing

Physical Items

While digital collections have brought about many advancements in information, they have also changed where we search and find information, and the art of walking through the stacks of books is being lost. While that walking can be a nod toward nostalgia, it also serves a legitimate and important role in the research process.

Most art books are on the 4th floor (L-Z call numbers). However, you are encouraged to browse our entire collection for inspiration!
