Transfer Students

This guide is to introduce transfer students to the resources at CSU Libraries.

Finding Books

Use Primo to find books. You can search from the Libraries 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 Libraries, 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.

Search below for books, articles, videos, images, dissertations, government documents, and more available through CSU Libraries, or go directly to the Advanced Search.

 

Not sure where to start?

  • Choose Almost Everything to search millions* of our resources, including print books, e-books, articles, media, maps, government documents, and much more. Millions, yes, but you won't find everything. To find additional resources, or for more focused searching, try a database from our A-Z Database List.
  • Choose Books and more to search our physical (on site) resources, e-books, and streaming videos. You can also limit your search to digital repository (DSpace) or Semester at Sea items.
  • Choose Articles and more to search articles and similar items from selected databases indexed by Primo.
  • Choose Course Reserves to search for physical materials placed on reserve.
