I-Share Catalog
A catalog of the collections of dozens of academic libraries that are part of the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois. Use the Request feature to submit a request for an item from another library.
WorldCat
An online catalog of more than 8,000 libraries worldwide. Use the MyILL button to place requests for materials not owned by IIT or I-Share Libraries. Make sure that the item you want is not available in either the IIT or I-Share catalog before submitting a request in WorldCat.
On the Shelf - Call Numbers
Call numbers serve as a guide to browsing pertinent areas of the library's collection. When you have a call number for a book of interest, be sure to check the shelves nearby for related books. The call numbers listed below are a sampling of the major areas where books on chemical engineering can be found. Remember that there will be appropriate books found in other areas as well.
QD; QP501-QP981; TP
Main circulating collection, reference (prefaced by REF, e.g. REF.QH...), new book shelf, & reserves
(NOTE: many other types of science are also represented nearby.)
615.19; 660; 678
Dewey Decimal Collection (note: the library's Dewey Decimal collection contains older books published prior to 1985)
Dictionaries, Encyclopedias, Handbooks, etc.
These types of books are located in the Reference Collection (on the upper level of the library). Reference books cannot be checked out and must stay in the library. To search for reference books, use the IIT Library Catalog. The following is a list of some useful titles:

Textbooks
The library does not provide circulating copies of textbooks. However, some current and past textbooks have been placed on Reserve. Reserve books can be checked out for two hours at a time but cannot be removed from the library. This ensures they are available to as many students as possible during the semester they are assigned. To search for textbooks on reserve, use the IIT Library Catalog.
