The WebCat is the Library's computerized catalogue. It is the listing of books, videos, and journals available in the Library. You can locate material on specific topics by performing a Subject Heading search. Portage College Library uses Library of Congress Subject Headings.
Some sample headings for Power Engineering you can perform a search on in the WebCat:
Boiler
Power plants
Steam boilers
Steam power plants
Thermodynamic
Steam engineering
Turbine
Refrigeration
The Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification System to group books and videos together by subject on the library shelves. The majority of materials on Power Engineering materials are shelved in the 620 section. The call number listed in the WebCat corresponds to the number on the label on the spine of the book (e.g. 155.4 BEE).
Examples
621.1 - Steam engineering
621.165 - Steam turbines
621.183 - Boilers and boiler furnaces
PERIODICALS: MAGAZINES, JOURNALS, NEWSPAPERS
Periodicals are published at regular intervals, generally more frequently than annually. Each issue is numbered and/or dated consecutively, and normally contains separate articles, stories, or other writings. Scanning current issues of periodicals in your subject area can be useful when you are trying to think of a topic.
