Q. Why is there an F or FF before the Shelf Mark on the item I want?

Shelf Marks F and FF are for oversized items, books that are too large for us to shelve on our regular spaced shelf units. These items are located at the end of the sequences on each floor in the Yellow Zones.

You may find it useful to pick up one of our 'Library Services' guides which contain floor plans of the Library showing where the books are shelved. Please feel free to speak to a member of staff if you need help navigating the shelves and finding books; we're always happy to help.
