Are all my course textbooks available in the library?
Answer
Probably not. The library's main purpose is to support research by students and faculty, and not to provide all course textbooks.
Having said that, you might be able to find your textbook in the library. Some instructors may have put a copy on the library reserve shelf. You'll need to come into the library to get reserve items. In other cases, instructors may choose to assign a book for their class that the library already has in its regular collection. So it never hurts to check the library discovery service just in case we do have a copy available in either of these ways.
