How to Find a Map in Atkins Library

Check the online catalog at http://library.uncc.edu/catalog to see if Atkins library owns a map. The library does own some maps which are not in the catalog so it is also advisable to check the maps section on the second floor of the library. Below is a general layout of maps in Atkins Library.

Also try the Maps Collection Database for maps that are not in the catalog from 1995 to the present. 8 ½ x 11 country maps are shelved on the 3rd floor in Government documents under call number PREX 3.10/4

In addition, Special Collections maintains a Maps database for Special Collections for maps located on the 10th floor in Special Collections.

For additional help, contact the second floor desk at 704-687-2843.
