The majority of books for Life & Environmental Sciences will be in The Ross Library, but due to the cross disciplinary nature of many subjects you will also need to use books in the University Library (GCW). The books in both libraries are organised by the Dewey Decimal System. Each book has a number on the spine called a shelfmark. In The Ross Library all books are on the first floor. In the University Library the first floor has books with numbers from 000-649 (apart from 340-349.99 which are in the Law Library on the third floor) and the second floor has books with numbers from 650-999.
Try browsing the shelves for books on a particular topic or search on the Library catalogue (https://library.lincoln.ac.uk) to find out where the books are located.
