Please note- we are trying to provide online access to as many textbooks as possible. If you have a specific request or question regarding textbook access, please email us.
View the current course reserves. We are working on getting increased online access through our database providers. We will link e-book/online versions of your sources if we find them, but it may take some time for us to search through resources and find a copy.
If you have a textbook for your class on reserve that won’t be accessible online, please reach out to George Wrenn (george.wrenn@humboldt.edu) to see if there is a possibility of obtaining E-book access for your class. Digitizing chapters of heavily used course reserves texts may be possible, but is slow due to the time it takes to scan them and make them accessible. Tip: publishers are often providing limited access for emergency purposes, and we are happy to help.
While we will try to find free copies for you though various resources, you may consider/need to contact the publisher directly to access some texts. If we cannot find a copy though services/products that publishers have made freely accessible during these times, we will work with you directly to find other options. If none of these options work to provide your class access to their course reserves, you can also reach out to the Accessibility Resource Center (arcs@humboldt.edu) to request digitization of specific chapters of your text from the physical copy.
Please consult the mail-to-services we are providing, in addition to the ebooks at Research Help Frequently Asked Questions.
Our regular journal and article access is available through the semester. We will post any outages or changes here.
Many vendors are providing complimentary access to online resources through the semester. See below for details.
