Does the library have textbooks? How can I search them?
Answer
The library hosts a Course Reserve collection, which can be searched here.
Textbooks and other course reserve material allow students to use items set aside by faculty to assist in coursework. This may include textbooks or supplemental reading material. For questions on reserves, contact us at library@illinoistech.edu
Print Reserve materials are available only at the Circulation Desk. This includes books, textbooks, and other copyrighted material. These materials can only be checked out by the Illinois Tech community, or I-Share members, and must be returned during the allotted loan period (usually 2 hours). Library users are only allowed to check out one reserve item at a time. Reserve materials cannot be renewed and must be returned directly to the Circulation Desk.
It is not library policy, nor practice, to purchase circulating copies of textbooks for students.
