When using Ingram Library catalog, I thought it was harder than
using the one in high school one. The high school catalog seemed easier because
there were fewer books to find and it was easier since not three floors to find
books. In high school all the books are on one floor and not as many books to
look through. We went around everywhere our first time looking for the book we
wanted and it ended up being on the first floor for government documents. The
Ingram Library catalog has way more options than the high school one. High
school has the bare minimum that is required to get the research done while
Ingram Library catalog has more than enough options to get your research done.
It surprised me that all three floors have different letters and different
categories of books. It was surprising how many books are in the library and
how they broke up each of the categories. I had trouble with my assignment when
I had to find a book located in I. Looked on all three floors and the book
ended up being on the first floor with the government documents. It was in the
left corner in an area that was kind of hidden.
Government documents use a whole different numbering system for their call numbers, which makes them really tricky to find! Was it much harder to find stuff in our catalog compared to others, or is it just harder because of the overwhelming amount of stuff?
