Use the MERLIN Library Catalog and the MOBIUS Union Catalog to find resources relevant to your research. Relevant works can be found using subject headings (Library of Congress) such as:
The (Library of Congress) subject heading Philosophy is broken down into hundreds of subtopics and related subjects. If you do not wish to browse the headings, do a keyword search on your topic and follow the subject heading links at the bottom of the relevant record(s) to find additional resources.
If you do not find what you are looking for in the Miller Nichols Collection or if what you want is checked out, try the suggestions found on our FAQ page under the heading "What I need is not at the UMKC Libraries. What do I do?" You will find out a lot more basic information about the University Libraries on this page also.
If you still are not finding what you need, then you will probably need to use our Interlibrary Loan service. (But keep in mind that requesting items out of state can take three days to three weeks for delivery.) Also keep in mind that the time of check out will be determined by the library sending the item(s), so check out times can vary.
B-BD is the primary call number range where books on philosophy are shelved. General circulating books that can be checked out in this call number range can be found on the Fourth Floor of the Miller Nichols Library. Reference materials, which are not checked out, in this call number range can be found in the Information Commons on the First Floor of the Library. Philosophy bibliographies are often shelved in the Z8100's through Z8400's. These can be found in the reference collection on the First Floor and books for check out in this range can be found on the Second Floor. Books on philosophy of science or philosophy of literature may be shelved in the philosophy, science or literature areas of the collection, depending upon their coverage.
To find the location of a book in Miller Nichols Library, see the Location Guide.
