Browsing in the Library

Harper College Library uses the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) to organize the book collection.  In this system, materials are organized by discipline.  Unfortunately this makes it difficult to search for multi-disciplinary topics such as LGBQT+.  Many of the LGBTQ+ materials will be in the following call number range: HQ12 - HQ77.95.  You can browse that area of the collection, but also reach out to a librarian for help with finding LGBTQ+ books that might be in different disciplines.
