You can check our OneSearch catalog to see if we have a copy of your textbook in the "Reserves" collection, or an ebook or "Online" copy. (Please note that most textbook publishers do not sell e-book versions of their textbooks to libraries.)

Library textbooks in the "Reserves" collection check out for 2 hours, in-library use only. Please bring your student ID to the library's circulation desk to check out a Reserve Textbook.

Books that are "Available Online" in OneSearch can be viewed anytime by clicking on the database name in the "View Online" section in the item's OneSearch record.
