The CCS Library has a very large material collection; members of the CCS community may check out up to 5 items at a time for up to 21 days (samples must be returned unaltered and undamaged).
If you require larger samples, samples you can cut, or samples to keep for an extended period, the resources below may help you find the items you need. Additionally, Academic Facilities maintains a list of suppliers.
It is also helpful to contact the manufacturer or distributor of items you find in the collection which are of interest. There is often a phone number, website, or email address directly on the items or, as always, a Librarian can help you.
