Navigation to Electronic Resources and Finding Aids Changes

The Reference and Technical Services Staff are continuing to improve access to our materials. The "INFORMATION" area has been streamlined to distinguish more clearly the electronic books, databases, journals, and related catalogs areas of the website. In 2008 the federation and interrelating of links will allow greater flexibility in finding related articles and research resources.

To the CSU Community

The CSU library apologizes for the inconvenience that has been caused by a serious technical problem that has occurred in the ASRS Rover System, Aisle 1.
At this time; we are unable to retrieve any of the Stack collections or Bound Journals from Aisle 1, but you can continue to request Black Studies, Microfiche, and Microfilm, DVDs, CDs and Reference material from Aisle 2. We are working diligently to get the system back online.
There are two aisles in Rover, with cranes operating in each of them. Each crane locates and retrieves its set of bins. Aisle 1 is the south aisle, nearer the windows of the library.
