This guide answers some questions from incoming ECST students. Most answers were found on the https://www.calstatela.edu/library/services-student page.
When do students know to get their textbooks? Instructors list required books and readings on their course syllabus when classes start. Textbooks can also be found at the campus bookstore course finder.
What resources are recommended to incoming first-year students? How might new students take advantage of the schools' resources?
Talking to your librarian about research assignments early and often as well as communicating your needs and questions to your instructors and other students in your classes or campus organizations can make a big difference. The people who work at the school and attend the school can guide you to the most valuable resources, the resources you need.
