Books
Physics books may be found at the Lockwood Library on North Campus. They are arranged by call number. Look for the letters QC on the spine of the book. The QC 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 QC. These books must stay at the library, but you are welcome to use them whenever the library is open.
Additional call numbers: Q (General Science); QA (Mathematics, Computer Science); QB (Astronomy); QD (Chemistry).
If you need additional assistance, please visit our Reference Desk on Lockwood 2 or, if that is closed, use the UB Libraries' chat service.
