Foster Business Library


Reference Accounting Collection


This collection consists of accounting reference works and is arranged, for the most part, by issuing body; within issuing body, alphabetically by series name. For the most part, call number is disregarded in shelving in this collection; an exception is at the end of the collection where miscellaneous works are shelved by call number. Records for these items in the UW Libraries Catalog, for the most part, indicate where the item is shelved in this collection. A color coding system is also used, to make finding and reshelving materials easier for self-service. For the overall arrangement of this collection, see Foster Business Library Reference Accounting Collection Arrangement.
