Can I get my textbook from the Library?
Answer
While we don't have every textbook for every class, the Library has purchased some textbooks for students to borrow for short periods of time.
Since we can’t purchase every textbook, these are the criteria we consider when deciding which to buy:
- high cost (over $100)
- first-year or introductory course
- large enrollment in the course
Most textbooks on Reserve can be signed out for two hours at a time. Search the Reserve Catalogue to see if the textbook you need is in our Reserve Collection.
The Library doesn't sell textbooks. To purchase textbooks and other course materials, read our FAQ about buying textbooks on campus.
