Calling for Course Reserves, Spring 2014

Calling all course materials!  Ensure that your reserve materials (print and e-reserves) are available, in time, for the first day of class, by submitting a request before Wednesday, January 8, 2014.

Materials will be processed in the order in which they are received.

For more information, visit the Steenbock Library Course Reserves page, email, or complete an online request form.

What we've been reading...

Are you looking to dig into some reading (apart from your required texts)?  If so, take a break and consider the list of titles generated by campus librarians (and via Pinterest) during their annual book discussion.  Use the book list to find something to distract you from the local wintry scene or to take with you as you venture out from campus for the winter semester break.

And, not to be outdone, our student staff has also generated a favorites list.  Visit the Pinterest board, "Our Favorite Books" to discover more reading selections.

Consult with your campus or public libraries to find available copies.

• UW-Madison Library Catalog
  (Don’t forget the option to borrow from UW System Libraries!)

• LinkCat, South Central Wisconsin Library System Catalog (and check-out its “Don’t Miss Lists)
• WorldCat (find library copies nationally, some internationally)
