Reserves and Book Sharing

I’ve placed a sizeable collection of books and films on reserve at Odegaard Undergraduate Library. These resources should prove valuable as you conduct research for your presentations and projects.

As you work on similar presentations and projects, you may find that a book you want has already been borrowed from the library, potentially by one of your classmates. The Adaptation Book List Wiki contains lists of the books 498G students have currently checked out. Check the lists before you recall a book and edit the lists whenever you borrow or return a book. Editing literally takes a minute, and the information you add could not only help out a classmate, but can also prevent recalls of books you're not ready to turn in.
