Did you know that the Library has many textbooks available on Reserve? We may have the book you need for your class — check our catalog and find out!
Reserve materials circulate for two hours at a time – just enough for you to get your reading done and share with others. Questions? Let us know how we can help! Email us at library@kzoo.edu.

Last week the Library launched an update to our website! Many thanks to the Web Services team and to faculty, staff, and student participants in our usability study. You helped us improve the look, feel, and functionality of the site, and we hope the redesigned site will help you find what you need more easily.
We will continue to tweak pages here and there, so if you see something that isn’t working, please contact library@kzoo.edu.
