A. Call number browsing
Using the catalog browse call number feature can be very helpful when searching for Hebraica titles since they may be physically shelved in disparate locations. Some older titles may be held at off-site storage (LIBRA); some titles may only be held at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies (420 Walnut St.); others are at Van Pelt. Depending on the subject matter, Hebraica books are also found at Fine Arts or the Museum Libraries. Patrons can request delivery of off-site items. Browsing the online catalog by call number gives access to all titles irrespective of holding location. Please see also the general instructions on call number searching here.
