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