PSYC 3980: Research Design

What's where?

Psychology is an interdisciplinary field and students may find materials in a number of locations. UGA books are shelved using the Library of Congress (LC) system instead of the Dewey system. Call numbers have a letter code that roughly describes the topic, and then more precise number codes. Useful books can be where you least expect.

REPOSITORY
