Does the Library have the textbooks for my class?
Answer
To search for reserves, go to the library website and select the Course Reserves search link. You can search for reserves by either the course name and number or by the instructor's name.
Remember that even if an item is not on reserve, the Library may have it anyways. Try searching OneSearch, or ask a librarian to help you see if it's available.
Generally, CSM Library only has what instructors have specifically requested to be placed on reserve for their courses; CSM Library does not have all textbooks or other materials for all classes.
- If the book you need is not on reserve, you may ask your instructor to place a copy on reserve.
- If the material you need is not on reserve, you may ask one of our Reference Librarians to help you to try to locate an alternate source of the material, such as from another library, eBook, or from an online database.
- If the exact edition of the book you need is not on reserve, we may have older editions available. Ask your instructor if you may use other editions of your textbook.
