Can I get my textbook from the Library?
Answer
While we don't have every textbook for every class, the Library has purchased several textbooks for students to borrow for short periods of time. These textbooks can be found in our Reserve Collection.
Most textbooks can be signed out for two hours. Use Course Reserves in the toolbar in the Library Catalogue, LibrarySearch, to find textbooks on reserve.
These are the criteria we consider when deciding which textbooks to buy for the Library Reserve Collection:
- high cost (over $100)
- first-year or introductory course
- large enrollment in the course
The Library doesn't sell textbooks. To purchase textbooks and other course materials, read our FAQ about buying textbooks on campus.
