Does the library have my textbook?
Answer
The Library may have physical or electronic copies of some assigned course materials within its collections - search the Library Catalog (Primo) for the item you need. You can also review our guide to textbook options to find other tips for finding your course materials. If you require access to an item that is not currently held by the Library, please contact your liaison librarian, who will determine if the Library can purchase an electronic copy.
The Library works with instructors to put required items for classes on reserve and purchase electronic copies when possible. To find out more, please see the guide on course reserves. In Spring Quarter 2023 the library is running a pilot program to purchase a limited number of print or electronic copies of required textbooks, bases on enrollment size and cost of textbook. You can see if your text is included in the pilot program through our guide to textbook options.
