Course Materials, Spring 2012


Welcome Back All!

I hope that over break you've taken more naps, seen more films and listened to more music than I did. Many of you know the drill by now, but, so as to introduce library procedures to new students and revisit them for old, know that many of your instructors have asked us to make available copies of the textbooks and other materials you'll need to absorb for your classes. These copies are kept behind the Circulation Desk, which is on your right as you enter the library. To find out if we have course materials you need, ask at the Circulation Desk or go to our online Library Catalog at
and click on Reserves (on gray horizontal bar at the top.) You can search by instructor's name, course number, or course title.
