Course Materials
Begin searching for your course materials in these five ways:
-
Search the Collection
Use the full catalog first to see if your course materials are available for circulation. See a video demo of search tips for using the catalog.
Search the catalog -
Check Course Reserves
Search by course name, instructor name, or department to see materials that can be checked out for shortened loan periods. Course reserves can be checked out from the circulation desks at Main and Mudd Library.
-
Request an Interlibrary Loan
If we don’t have a book in our collection, interlibrary loan (ILL) is a good option for finding and borrowing assigned course materials from another library. Typical loan periods are 12 weeks.

Check the ‘Cats 4 ‘Cats Lending Library
‘Cats 4 ‘Cats is a “take-a-book leave-a-book” collection where students donate their textbooks and other course materials for other students to use in future quarters. Any student can take a book they need for class, use it for the term, and then return it at the end of the quarter. The collection is currently available in Core, on the second floor of University Library.
