Finding Books
Use the library catalog to find materials in the ZSR Library. Search by author, title, subject, keyword, or call number. Generally, works related to physics can be found in the QC1-999 call number range, which can be found on the 1st floor of the Reynolds Wing.

Locating Journals
Find out if the library subscribes to the journal you need through the Journals Page.
Wake Forest subscribes to a number of journals within electronic journal packages (WFU affiliates only).
Current issues are shelved in Current Periodicals. Bound volumes are shelved in the stacks. If the Library does not have a journal or book you need, request it on Interlibrary Loan.
Note: If the library catalog states that an item is in Off-Site Shelving, ask for it at the Circulation Desk.
