Do you have the textbook for my course?

Maybe!  We try very hard to make as many textbooks available as possible, but we are unable to offer every single one. Some we can get as ebooks, so that you can use them online. If we have the one you need in print, it will be kept at the Course Reserves Desk on our 1st floor.  

How does this work?

The purpose of our Course Reserves system is to give lots of students access to, in most cases, just one or two copies of a textbook.  Therefore, when you check one out (we don't rent them!), you only get it for two hours.  You can read it, photocopy it, or scan it. Free scanning is available in the Copy Machines Room on the 1st floor.

Bring your Coyote OneCard (no other ID is accepted) and the call number of the textbook you want to the Course Reserves Desk, where a library staff member will retrieve the textbook and check it out to you.

Here are the instructions for discovering if we have the textbook you want and getting its call number.

 

To rent a textbook, see the Coyote Bookstore for info on rentals.
