A book I'm looking for says it should be on the shelves, but I can't find it there. Do you know where else I might look?

Answer

Yes!  There are several possibilities.

Check the catalog again to verify the library and location say Widener Law Commonwealth Library and Commonwealth Main Stacks (or other Commonwealth location).

Check the status for the book to confirm no one else has checked it out (ex: check shelf vs. Due 12.5.2020)

Take a picture of the book entry for exact call number before returning to the shelves

Recheck the shelf itself. Sometimes a book is misplaced on the end of the shelf or on a shelf nearby. 

If the book is not located, just ask for assistance at the Information Desk.
