Has your instructor assigned an e-book from our collection to your class? Please Ask Us if you encounter any problems
Is your class using a book that you'd like to see us acquire in e-book format?
As a rule, the Libraries do not automatically purchase the textbooks assigned each semester.
If you would like the Libraries to consider adding a specific textbook, please ask your instructor to send a request via our Course Reserves form.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are "free AND openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching, learning, research and other purposes." (Creative Commons Wiki 2018). When used in the classroom they can be accessed by students for free or at a minimal cost. By collaborating to create high-quality shared texts, the academic community can dramatically lower the cost of textbooks and class materials for the students they teach.
