Tired of writing down book call numbers on old catalog cards or trying to memorize them? Use our newest library service: Text a Call Number in the Rice Library Catalog! Here’s how:

1. Start in the Rice Library Catalog. Type any topic, title, or author. E.g. urban legends.
2. Select a book from the list by clicking on its title.
