Every library has a limited amount of resources to spend purchasing books.  If you are looking for additional LGBTQ titles, a good place to start is the list of classics from the Publishing Triangle .

A list of major awards  given for gay and lesbian literature, are included in the Lambda Literary Awards and the American Library Association's (ALA) Stonewall Book Awards.  You shouldn't neglect the regular book review channels such as the New York Times and the New Yorker. Both of these publications can be accessed by using the library's resources listed below.

Other Internet resources for LGBTQ titles:

 Over the Rainbow Books  a list produced by the American Library Association that exhibit commendable literary quality and significant authentic lgbtq content and are recommended for adults over age 18.

 Rainbow Book List  list is produced by the American Library Association every year and lists fiction and nonfiction titles aimed at a young adult audience that deal with GLBTQ themes.  On the website you can find lists of the current and previous selections.  Links to additional booklists and organizations can also be found on the site. 

ForeWord Reviews lists great books and independent voices providing book reviews from independent publishers. 

The library uses the Library of Congress Classification system to organize books in the stacks by subject. This means that it is easy to browse the stacks once you know the subject heading and call number associated with your topic.

In MacPhaidin Library, call numbers A-HF are located on the 2nd floor & HG-Z are located on the 3rd floor. All Leisure Reading books are on the 1st floor opposite Ace's Cafe.
