Major Readings on Reserve

I have put more than a few secondary works on reserve at Reed Library. When preparing your presentations and papers, some of these works may well come in handy. Please be aware that some of the following works had to be ordered, and may not have arrived yet. Although I will periodically update this page to indicate when newly ordered books have arrived on reserve, your best bet is to check the list in the black book at the circulation desk for the most up-to-date availability results. You can also go to the Reed Library web site, click on the "search the online catalog" link, and type in "RES SIMON"--you'll have to look through the long list of books there for those on reserve for EN 426-01, and type in "DI [#]" to see if works you're interested in looking over are actually in the library.
