Yay For School Libraries!

I made yet another complete idiot move today and simply wrote down the title of a miltary history reference book before I went to find it. Figuring on my sad sad knowledge of the Library of Congress system to save me, I headed straight for the U's (Military books). It took me twenty minutes to even find the reference U's (six sorry looking books on military strategy... I needed one on history, specifically drafting and conscription for a term paper I'm working on), and there was no sign of my chosen book. I carried the rest of my prizes, neatly plucked from the easily found U section of the stacks, to the librarian, and asked her where I could find the once-thought simply found book. Three guesses. In the E's (history). Fun. Now I feel like a moron. Now I know. Always write down every number on the spine of the book. If you don't, prepare for a long walk through the library.
