Finding Books
Use Primo (the default search on the homepage) to find books. You can search from the library homepage, or use the box below. You may want to change the "Almost Everything" drop-down to "Books and more" to limit your search to books. If you don't find what you are looking for at CSU Library, you can also search Prospector (regional Colorado catalog) or WorldCat (most US libraries and some international). You can borrow books from other libraries for free, and they are typically sent to the Morgan Library Loan & Reserve Desk for you to pick them up. The loan period for Prospector books is six weeks, and the loan period for books outside our regional library system is determined by the lending library.
