Physical Books
RDP Library's collection is organized by subject using the Library of Congress classification system, with the exception of the Leisure Reading Collection, which is organized alphabetically by the author's last name.
Each library item has a unique call number. Call numbers are a combination of letters and numbers that tell you where to find the book in the library.
The Main Collection and Curriculum Collection are located on Floor 2, while the Leisure Reading Collection and CDs are on Floor 1.
When you find a physical item in the Library Catalogue, make a note of the location and the call number to find it on the shelf.
E-Books
Access is limited to RDP students, staff, and faculty due to licensing restrictions. RDP students, faculty, or staff who are off-campus will need to authenticate with their RDP email address and password to access an e-book or other licensed resource.
E-books are accessible through the Library Catalogue. When you find an e-book, click "View eBook" for access.
