The UM Libraries separate our books and shelve them by size in order to save space. A Stacks book is regular sized, while a Folio book is larger. The largest books are Oversize.
In the Architecture Library, Folio books and Periodical Stacks are on the first floor and Stacks are on the mezzanine.
In McKeldin Library, Folio books are toward the front of the building, Stacks are toward the back, Periodical Stacks are in the movable shelving at the far back, and Reference, Current Periodicals, and Microfilm are on the first floor.
