CSU-Pueblo Library uses the Library of Congress Classification System to organize books. Look at the first letter of the Call Number - that will tell you which floor you need to start on. This list is also posted in the LARC elevator, and on the digital signs next to the elevator on each floor.- Please note that the CSU-Pueblo library does not purchase textbooks as a matter of policy. Textbooks for classes are available for purchase at the University Bookstore.
Shared Collections
Since SuperSearch contains all of the physical materials owned by both Ft. Collins and Pueblo campuses, you can request to borrow books and other returnable items from Morgan Library at Ft. Collins. Items will arrive at the circulation desk a few days after you've requested them, and can be renewed up to 4 times, unless there is a hold placed by another student.Direct borrowing from Ft. Collins
