Did your instructor ask you to read something "on reserve" at the Library? Find it here.
Print materials can be picked up at the 1st floor circulation desk. Just tell them what class you're in and what item you need. It's helpful if you bring your syllabus with you.
Electronic materials are available via the SLU Libraries Web site. To access them, you'll need to enter a password provided by your instructor.
