Search for Course Reserve books in the University Library's catalog by limiting to the Course Reserve collection (as detailed above), or by searching on the Reserves tab.

• Course Reserve items can be searched by the name of the course instructor (Last name, First Name), the course name, or the course number (ex.  MATH:149).

• Reserve items may also be searched by book title and author,  ISBN number, or library call number. Note: different versions of a textbook can have differing ISBN numbers, so it is highly recommended to search in more than one way for the book.
