I need course descriptions to receive academic credit at another institution, how do I find these?
We maintain holdings of course catalogs dating back to 1970. As with any archival materials, these are accessible by prior arrangement in the archives which is open Mondays - Thursdays from 10:00-4:00. With certain requests it is possible to arrange to have the materials copied and sent to you via US Postal Service. The requester pays the copying and shipping costs.

We are in the process of making course catalogs available at the circulation desk so that they may be accessible on a walk-in basis during library's operating hours.
