The library collection is arranged by call numbers which allow browsing by subject -- so if you find a book of interest, very likely the books on either side will be on the same subject.  Most of the Valley Library's zoology collection is located on the 1st floor in the QH's and QL's.  If you would like to browse the book collection follow the "read more" link below for a breakdown of call number ranges you may want to look at.

If you would like to browse the collections either in person or virtually, some call numbers that might be of interest to those studying zoology include:
