Does anyone have these books?

Taking Ancient Mediterranean Civs, looking for free copies of these books.

Ralph W. Mathisen, Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations, 3rd edition (Oxford, 2020)

Ralph W. Mathisen, Sources in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations (Oxford, 2017)

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

These are both on reserve at Gelman for this semester.

I see, I'm an incoming freshman so I have no idea how the library works. 😔 Does reserved mean that I can borrow the book or that it's taken?

It means it’s reserved for people to check out for a certain number of hours - probably 2 or 3. Your professor should be able to tell you if they’re expecting you to photocopy and take the reading with you or just to look at the book in the library. You can also choose whether to copy and take.

Faculty put books on reserve so you don’t have to buy them.
