If the Library has placed a copy of the course textbook on reserve, it will display with a message showing its availability, including the call number.

Note, in some cases a book might not be properly listed under its course even though we do have it. So, if you don't find your textbook using the method listed above, then try clicking New Search at the top of the screen and enter the textbook's exact title as a keyword search.

Some textbooks, such as those on 7-day reserve, can be requested online. Most are only available first-come, first-served at the library circulation desk. For these, write down the call number and bring it to the Circulation Desk with your student access card (or other form of ID) to check it out.
