Our mission is to provide access to materials to enable further study and research, not to eliminate student purchasing responsibilities of required course texts.
The library will provide the service of placing textbooks on reserve for courses. However, due to severe budget limitations, the library cannot purchase multiple copies of a textbook.
If the department wishes to supply copies of textbooks to the library, the library will add them to the reserve shelf and return them to the department if desired.
