Q. Why can I not see the call number for a book or item I found?

Sometimes our materials are shelved in places that do not require call numbers. The location may be behind the circulation desk. This may be true of materials like Reserve books which are organized by course number, for example.

For ebooks, there is no location because it is a digital item. You will be presented with a link to where to read/view the item. 

Sometimes the Discovery Catalog search will show items the TCC Library does not own, but can interlibrary loan, and therefore it will not show call numbers there either. 

Please contact the library to learn of the location if you are having trouble finding something.
