Astronomy and astrophysics books may be found at the Lockwood Library on North Campus. They are arranged by call number. Look for the letters QB on the spine of the book. The QB section of books are located on Lockwood 3. These books may be borrowed from the library. 

Additionally, we have a collection of reference books. The reference books for Science & Engineering are located on Lockwood 1, also found by looking for the call number QB.  These books must stay at the library, but you are welcome to use them whenever the library is open. 

If you need additional assistance, please visit our Reference Desk on Lockwood 2 or, if that is closed, use the UB Library's chat service.
