If you have difficulty searching, please visit the Library Service Desk. We're happy to help you!
1. If you know the textbook's title, type it into the CU BOOKS search bar on the library website and hit enter.
(Search only the main title, not the subtitle, to get more accurate results, ie. search None Like Him instead of None Like Him: 10 Ways God Is Different From Us).
For more precision, do an Advanced Search by clicking the button below the search bar.
Change your search to a TITLE search using the dropdown, type in the title, and hit Submit.
2. Locate the book you're looking for in the search results.
3. Look at the book's LOCATION to see if there is a copy on reserve (it will say RESERVE-MAIN DESK) if it's on reserve.
(In this example, there is also a second copy of None Like Him in the library's main collection which can be checked out.)
