ASLSP book lists found on this page might not be up-to-date! Check the Academic Year (AY) listed at the top of each list to see if it is the most recent. There may also be changes made to the curriculum after a list is posted. There will be a note at the bottom of the list if changes were made after it was posted. All the books on these lists are ASLSP books and will be located in the ASLSP book area to the far left of the Circulation desk for ASLSP students (look for books with a purple star). If you are not a ASLSP student, many of these titles have one or more copies in our Main collection on the 2nd floor with the same call number.
