Engineering books are available through the library in two formats: e-books which can be read online through the library website, and physical books.
Requests for physical books can be made from Library Search. Click the "Library Pickup" option for your title and the item will be sent to the library Information Desk in Campbell. Please allow 1-2 business days for this process of retrieval. You will be notified when it is ready for you to come pick it up. Books can be returned to the same Information Desk or our return box outside Campbell.
