My textbook hasn't come in yet and I need it for an assignment - do you have it in the library?

 

While the library does not have textbooks for every class offered, sometimes we may have a copy. Searching the catalog will show you whether or not the library has your textbook and if it is available to be checked out. It is important to keep in mind that if the library does have a copy, it may be an older edition. 

If you only need a couple of chapters in order to complete readings/assignments until your textbook arrives, you can submit an interlibrary loan request for those chapters. Visit our interlibrary loan page for more information on the request process including average wait times and instructions.
