Course reserves are textbooks or other materials useful for a class that instructors requested the library make easily accessible to students. They are considered in-library-use only, meaning that they cannot leave the library and are checked out for only a handful of hours at a time. This ensures that more students can use them in the same period of time compared to a regular checkout book.
Course reserves can be found at the front Circ Desk, just ask someone staffing the desk to retrieve it for you (having a title ready to go is greatly appreciated).
For Faculty:
You can request a book that the library owns to be placed on reserve; however, if the item is not owned by the library, it must be provided by the faculty member requesting it. You must fill out the Reserve Book Request Form to have a book placed on reserve. Please be aware that this request will average three business days once it has been received.
This guide is here to help you with research, focusing mainly on resources that you can use in your refrigeration courses (although I certainly hope that you can take what you learn here and apply it elsewhere).
MILO is the library's main search tool. Through it you can get books, articles, e-books, and many other sources all in one place. If you'd rather head straight to MILO than using the search box, Click Here!
(Make sure to swap "Everything" to "Library Catalog" in order to show only items you can physically find within Resnick Library.)
*Synonyms & related terms are your friends: if searching for "HVACR" isn't pulling up useful results, try "refrigeration". Sometimes the perfect book or article is there, just using different wordings/terms. Instead of doing multiple searches, you can also just put the word "OR" between your search terms (example: car OR automobile). It can help to do a search using simpler language, noting what words scholarly materials tend to use, and then using another search using the more advanced/niche terms.
*Use an asterisk ("wildcard") to get results with all words that start with the same letters: if you search "refrig*", then you'd obtain results with any words that begin with "refrig" such as "refrigerant", "refrigeration", "refrigerators", and so on.
*Use MILO's search filters, found on the left side of the results page: Some filters include "Material Type", "Language", and "Subject". You can also limit results to those published within a certain date-range (very useful for when your professor requires you only use sources from the past X number of years). You can also set more advanced search criteria by clicking "ADVANCED SEARCH" to the right of MILO's search bar.
Is there a specific book you're looking for that you can't find in the Resnick Library?
There's a few ways that we can try and track a copy down for you!
1. We can look at other SUNY schools and if any have a copy we can request they mail it to us for you. You can do this yourself on MILO by selecting the "SUNY Catalog" filter on the right-side drop-down menu of the main search bar
If the result says "Check for available services" in grey, that means that we don't own it... but another SUNY does! After clicking the title of the material you'd like click "Request from another library".
You can also stop by our main circ desk and request assistance from a library worker and we'll walk you through it. (Please note that shipping can take a couple of weeks, but you'll receive a confirmation email when it arrives)
2. If all else fails, feel free to send us a purchase request! It's not 100% assured that we can purchase your request, but if we do so you'll receive a notification when it's added to our collection.
