Textbooks & Course Readings
Before you buy or pirate a textbook, use Library Search to find out what we have a copy to borrow in our collections. Other options include,
- Course reserves: Use Library Search to find a course reserve. Not sure of the exact title? Type in your course subject code and number (e.g., MATH 38, ANTH 009, etc.) to start.
- STEM textbook exchange: Located at Feldberg Library, grab a gently-used STEM book donated by fellow students. Browse what’s available, then head to Feldberg. Have a STEM textbook to donate? Pay it forward by leaving it with the team at Feldberg Library.
- Unlimited use ebooks: Before buying books for your course, check if the Libraries what you need in this format! Reach out to a librarian if you need help.
