Browsing is too time consuming if you have a specific topic.  For example, if you’re looking for an historical, sociological, psychological aspect of a topic, you might find something in the B, D, E, F or H sections of the library.  For specific topics, use the FIU Library Catalog.

When searching for resources on a specific topic, you'll need to search a library catalog.

To locate resources in the FIU Libraries' collections search the FIU Libraries Catalog.
