Stay updated with HSU's COVID-19 Information.
The HSU Library is dedicated to supporting your research and learning needs as the campus transitions to online instruction. Learn more about how we can help.
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.
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.
If you need textbook access for students, please reach out to Missy Stoll at McGraw-Hill Missy.Stoll@mheducation.com with a class code, class name, textbook name, and the number of students needing access.
