2. My Partner Doug and I are conducting research on whales for an
upcoming research paper in our Library Research Class. One of the
sources we use must be a hard copy book and it must be from the
Ingram Library.
Of course as large as the Ingram library is we wouldn’t know where
exactly a book on whales would be located. So we decided to look
on the Library Search Engine Galileo.

3. What a Fail!!
Galileo and the Library website is used to
search for books that are available in the
library for any subject, so we thought. We
attempted to do this ourselves and find
the book Men and Whales on the Galileo
search engine, but ran into some bumps
along the way. So we asked for help.

4. SEEKING HELP
Well since we had troubled finding it
ourselves. We decided to be men and
ask for help. We utilized our resource
of the student assistant that assisted
us in the process. The student
assistant told us why it is important
to utilize library search engine to find
books in the library. She walked us
through it step by step.

5. Question and Answer process
So we asked how can we used Galileo to search for a book in the Library. The student
happily assisted us in this process. She explained to us that we use the Library Search
Catalog instead of Galileo to search for a book in the library. To access this you go the
Ingram Library Website and type in the title of the book in the search bar.

6. On this particular day the elevator was out of order so we took the
stairs to the second floor to search for the book. The library letters and
calls numbers are arranged alphabetically on shelves on the second
and third floors of the Library. We used our common knowledge and
the information that the student assistant gave to find the book Men and
Whales. We searched on both the second and third floors to find the
book. Here we are searching to see if this is the correct shelf with the
book.

7. STILL SEARCHING
Yes Ingram Library is a large facility and houses a million books on so many
topics. We continue to look on the signs that are posted on the side of the
shelves that have what alphabets and calls numbers are on that particular shelf.
Well the book on Whales and Men are not on this shelf so lets keep looking.
