Greetings, Coyotes!
Welcome to Fall 2023!
Whether you are new to CSUSB or returning, we are so happy to see you!
On the San Bernardino campus, during the first few weeks of the semester, you’ll enjoy the soft opening of the First Floor Commons in Pfau while the installations happen before your eyes! Stay on top of restoration and renovation updates here and plan to join as at noon on 20 September for the Grand Opening Celebration!
The celebrations don’t end there. In October, we will be celebrating the Freedom to Read for Banned Books Week. There will be a Banned Books Buffet book giveaway at Pfau and at Palm Desert.
Our library team is here for you, wherever “here” is for you! Ask a Librarian chat service is a wonderful place to begin. You have options to chat, phone, or text. There is even a service to chat with a librarian with one of our partners around the globe if you need help after hours! If you need more time to discuss your questions and projects in depth, you can schedule an appointment, in-person or virtual. Our team is here to help you be successful and de-mystify our wonderful resources!
We’ve got great new electronic resources, that you can check out wherever you are as long as you have your Coyote ID:
