Books
Books are a
primary means of communicating research and studies. To find books on
your topic, you may use online catalogs such as the CSUF OPAC,
LINK+, Melvyl, and WorldCat. These catalogs have the
capability for you to download and email records. However, the texts of
books are not available online. You will need to go to the book shelves
in the Pollak Library or request books the Pollak Library does not own
directly online from LINK+ libraries and WorldCat.

library are classified and shelved by the
