The New Books Shelf:
You are always welcome to visit the Marriott Library's New Books shelf which is located on the third floor near the east entrance.

Acquisitions:
	Between 3,000 and 8,000 books are shipped directly to the Marriott Library every single month, and it is only through the constant efforts of the acquisitions division that these books can be brought to the students, friends, faculty, and staff of the University of Utah.

How are the New Books sorted on the Browse web page?
      Books are sorted by call number. We have adapted major sections of the Library of Congress system in order to fit a classification system based on the University of Utah's academic departments. This works well for long-established disciplines like music or mathematics, however items in newer or interdisciplinary fields like bioengineering or parks, recreation and tourism might not sort in a way that will please everyone. To find what you are looking for in such fields, we strongly suggest that you check related subjects. Searching by title may also be helpful.

Why is there no fiction subject listed?
      Although fiction is considered to be a subject at many city libraries, call numbers at research libraries work differently. Many titles can be found in the English, or Language and Literature subjects and any others can be found by searching for title or author.

When is the New Books list updated?
      The New Books List is updated on the first day of every month, and it contains every book that was acquired by the library during the entirety of the previous month. Please use the catalog to find books that have been ordered but have not yet arrived, or search the catalog by author or title to find books that have arrived this month but have not yet been added to the New Books list.
