Get books from American University
Maret students can borrow books (and only books) from AU.
Here's how it works:
Search the AU library catalog. Make sure to limit your search by location to American only.
Copy down all the information about any books you want (title, author, call number, and location), and email it to library@maret.org. We'll get the books for you within 48 hours, and you can return them to the Maret library when you're done.
