The Chandler Library catalog is currently down for a database conversion to a new and improved catalog. How do you find books in the meantime?Books are always available to browse on the shelf, and you'll be able to check out at the information desk if you have your library card with you. Come in to the library and ask staff to help you find the right shelves to browse. (We just can't tell you if a specific book is checked in or not, or place holds. These services will be available again on July 23.)
How to find subjects and authors? Chandler Library uses the Dewey Decimal System to arrange our nonfiction books, and you can check this guide for some common Dewey call numbers. (Or if you're really curious, you can check this page for a more detailed list of all the call numbers!)
Looking for the author of a fiction book? Do what we do when we can't access our catalog or can't find an author there - search Amazon! Fiction is shelved alphabetically by the author's name.
You can also access our ebook collections, provided you have your library card and it's currently in good standing. (Cards issued between July 18 - 22 will not be able to access ebooks.)Our new catalog will be up on Wednesday, July 23. We think you'll like this new library system, which will offer a more seamless interface and direct access to our new 3M ebooks. Thank you for your patience!
