The Literature Section in Reference
Ellender Memorial Library has many reference books of interest to English Majors and students in literature classes. These are located on the 2nd floor of the library (to the left of the Reference Desk, when you are facing it). Look for the grey sign with the big red letters that read REFERENCE. Literature reference begins with the 800 Dewey call numbers and ends near the 900s. Some of these books include
