The library has many class items on "Course Reserve" for a short checkout period (in support of homework completion). They are available on a first come, first served basis. Use the OneSearch "Course Reserves" tab to see if the library has your textbook.
When you search OneSearch by course or instructor, it will show which library center has the course material, whether it is available and also the length of time it is available for check out.
Who Built America (above) is an example of a textbook on reserve. It is on reserve for Labor and Community Studies 70A.
Email reference is available Monday through Friday during the Fall and Spring semesters. We try to respond within two days.
