Where are all the books from downstairs?

Luckily, many books from downstairs were moved upstairs to the main floor! And our heavily used materials (KF 154-9999), which were already upstairs on the Main floor, have mostly stayed upstairs. (Did you know that KF is the Library of Congress Classification number for Law — United States?)

What’s still here?

  • Call number ranges KA – KE, KG – KZ, and K. (Note that “K” books are shelved at the end.) This should include our major treatises and practice guides, as well as other frequently-consulted secondary sources.
  • West’s Annotated California Codes
  • The United States Code and current issues of law reviews are behind the service counter in Reserves; please ask a staff member to retrieve them for you.

What’s in storage?

Most primary materials have been placed in storage.This includes:

  • Federal – reporters, digests, and both sets of annotated statutes (USCA and USCS);
  • California – reporters, digests, and Deering’s California Codes, and
  • all other state statutory compilations.

So how can you tell where everything is? Sign - call number ranges

  • Do check the signs on the shelves. These signs — the ones that show a call number range — have been updated to reflect temporarily relocated materials.
  • Don’t use ANTPAC. The online catalog has not been updated to reflect items being in storage or temporarily relocated to the Reading Room.
  • You can always ask a staff member if you need help finding something!
