Find Your Textbook

Let Us Help You Find Your Textbook!

First, does the library have it as an eBook?

The first step to seeing if the library has access to your textbook is to check the attachment below to see if it is available as an eBook.

Please be aware that while library eBooks are not assigned to any particular individual, some eBooks are single-user copies. This means that, like a physical library book on reserve, only one person can be reading the library eBook at a time. When you use this type of book, it’s best to read and then close it so that others may have the opportunity to read it as well.

Second, does the library have it as a physical book?

This may be helpful to you if you are on campus. Visit the library homepage and use the main search box to search the title of your book to see if we have it for in-library use. Visit the Circulation Desk to borrow books on course reserve.

Third, how can I rent/buy my textbook from the bookstore? 

If the library doesn't have access to your textbook, the next place to search is the Bookstore. Prices are fairly low, much lower than physical textbooks.
