The library's mission is to provide information resources to support the research and information needs of students and faculty. Because textbooks are updated so frequently, it is not feasible to use library funds to purchase textbooks. Some professors place a copy of their textbook on Reserve at the Library Services Desk for student use. These items are typically checked out for two hours at a time for in-library use. You can search the Reserve list by professor to see if your textbook is available there. Some books which are required reading but not considered textbooks may be in our collection. You can search the library catalog for the title of the book. These may be on Library Reserve, but not under the professor's name.
