Criminal Justice: Find Books

To find a specific book or to find a book on a specific topic, your best bet is to start first with Mondor-Eagen Library resources, then work your way out electronically and geographically. Here are the steps and links to follow. At each level, you can log in with your library card and make an electronic request.

1. Search the Mondor-Eagen Library catalog. Click here for a video tutorial on how to use the catalog.
2. If we don't have what you need, expand your search to include all of the C/W MARS libraries in Central Massachusetts.

If you still cannot find the material, try searching for it on WorldCat Discovery OR submit an interlibrary loan request to us.  

Don't forget to check our Reference section!  It's the first set of shelves you see when you walk into the library.  Here you will find dictionaries and encyclopedias relevant to your area of study.  If you need help in your search, please feel free to ask.

We use the Library of Congress classification system of organizing books. Books that specialize in the field of criminology have call numbers that begin with the letters HV. 

Here is a breakdown of the Criminology portion of the HV schedule:

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research. If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of fair use, that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
