Does the library have all textbooks?

The libraries keep copies of many textbooks, but it is not possible to obtain copies of all textbooks due to availability and funding.

Can I check a textbook out of the library?

Most textbooks can only be used in the library, but limited quantities of some titles can be checked out. Please stop by or contact the library for more info.

How do I find out if my textbook is available at the library?

1. If you are in the library, scan the open textbook shelves for your book. Books are arranged alphabetically by subject and course number (e.g. English 98, 101, etc.). 
2. You can also search for textbooks on the library homepage. Click on the "Textbooks" tab and search using the textbook title, course subject, or course abbreviations (see below). You may also add your course number. For example you can search by: English, ENGL, or ENGL 101.
