The Library Catalog - CONSORT
CONSORT is the library's catalog.
You've probably used a library catalog before if you every used your school or local public library. Basically, it's a website that let's you search for the books we have and tells you where they are so you can either
- access them online if they are available as an ebook, or
- find them on the shelf and check them out.

A call number is like the address of a book that tells you exactly where a book lives on the shelf.

If you have trouble finding a book by its call number, take a moment to watch this short video from McMaster University Library, which explains how to read a call number and how to use it to find your book:
