ENGH 305: Dimensions of Writing and Literature (Norse Sagas)

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the stacks are closed off. However you can still request books from our collections to be pulled so that you can pick them up (you'll need to be signed into Primo to see that option).

You may also access selected full text books in our collections from Hathi Trust:

• Begin a search in the library’s catalog
• As you look through your results, books that offer a scanned copy of the text will be marked as shown by the red arrow in this illustration:

• To view the scanned copy, click that link then make sure you sign in at the HathiTrust website (you will be authenticating via your Mason network credentials).  If you don’t sign in, you will not be able to view the textas the HathiTrust site will not know of your Mason affiliation.
