Serendipitous Browsing leads to great finds in the library! You can do this without a computer, just take yourself to the circulating collection and look to see what you can find! Use the Library of Congress (LOC) Call Numbers given below to search the Research Services Reference Collection, as well as the circulating collection.

Use the LOC classification prefixes to browse in the Bob and Kathy Luke Library (CAAD Library) and the Mitchell Memorial Library (Main Library). The LOC classification system is Alpha-Numeric, read the call number from left to right and top to bottom. The beginning letters will tell you the subject area covered in that specific area.  Start alphabetically and then use the numbers to get to the correct location in the stacks.   Areas to browse for Photography resources include different call number ranges for the Library of Congress (LOC).  You will mainly use the call numbers beginning with TR, but you will find other subject areas useful as well such as fine arts (N), Architecture (NA), Philosophy (B), Psychology (BF), Aesthetics (BH), Social Sciences (H), etc. Use the links below to help find areas to browse in both libraries.
