MGMT 492: Find Books

In our third floor stacks our books are organized by topic using the Library of Congress Classification. This means, if you find a book on the shelf about a certain topic, the books in the same general area will be similar in scope. This is really helpful for browsing the stacks. When you find a book that's relevant, take a look at the nearby titles, look at their tables of contents and indexes, maybe another book is more relevant to your research.

In business research you may find yourself in these areas of the collection more frequently then others:
