Engineering: Books & E-Books

The Library has print books and e-books. Generally, an e-book contains the same information as a print book.

Books are very useful for background reading and theory. Many also contain snippets of programming code that will be useful for your assignments.

Dewey decimal classification is the system we use to arrange books in the library. Each book is assigned a call number which is a series of numbers followed by letters. The dewey decimal system arranges books by subject. The longer the number, the more specific the subject. Numbers are arranged numerically and letters alphabetically to help you easily find what you're looking for.
