How to get started using The Evergreen State College Library.

Access Course Materials on Open Reserve

Browse the Course Materials guide to find required materials for your course or program. 

In an effort to help make required course materials more accessible to students, The Evergreen State College Library purchases one copy of all required course materials (submitted by faculty) for all courses on all campuses.

Print copies of materials for Olympia campus programs are put on “Open Reserve” at the Olympia campus library for the quarter that they’re assigned. Items in this collection can be checked out for a period of 2 days (rather than the entire quarter) to ensure access to as many students as possible. The Open Reserves collection is located on the main floor of the library, just to the left when facing the Research Desk. 

Beyond the copy on Open Reserve, students can request additional copies from other libraries using the Library Catalog.

Print versions of required materials for the Tacoma campus courses are not included in our Open Reserve collection on the Olympia campus. They remain part of the regular circulating collection and can be checked out for an entire quarter.

E-books are accessible from any location.
