What is Textbook Sharing?
Textbook Sharing at Grasselli Library is a service that gives students access to selected course textbooks.
These books are geared toward students that:
Cannot afford to purchase their textbook at the beginning of the term, or just want to save money!
Accidentally leave textbooks at home.
Haven't decided for sure to remain in a course and don't want to buy the book yet.
These items are available for a 2-hour period for use in the library.
We hope that this program will assist you on your path to academic success!
Other Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take textbooks out of the library? No, they must remain in the library at all times.Textbooks that are not returned or damaged will automatically incur a $200 replacement fee, late return fees, and your library account will be frozen, which will prevent you from being able to check out library materials or access databases online.
Can I underline or highlight these books? No, you can not. Underlining or highlighting these texts will generate a replacement fee for the damaged item.
What is the lending period for a checked-out textbook?Same as Course Reserves -- 2 hrs. These books incur a $1 per hour fine if overdue.
Why aren't all of my class textbooks on Course Reserve?The Library considers a number of factors when selecting which textbooks to purchase. The combined criteria we use for selecting the textbooks are: classes with high enrollment (20 or more students), introductory classes with multiple sections, and textbooks that cost over $100.
