Books

Most Medical books are shelved in the R's but not all so be sure to check the online catalog. Most academic libraries, including Savannah Technical College, organize books according to the Library of Congress Classification System.

Find a book at another Savannah Technical College campus library? A courier service delivers books between the campuses Monday-Thursday. Contact library staff to request a book from another campus.
