If you don't find your textbooks on Reserve or at the Library, you can borrow the book through Prospector or Interlibrary Loan, as well as rent or purchase the textbook through Tivoli Station, the campus bookstore, or an online bookstore. 

To find the title of your textbooks, look at your course's syllabus, the course readings in your online management system (Canvas or D2L), or search Tivoli Station's course textbooks. 

We recommend you talk with your instructor or attend class before purchasing your textbooks whenever possible.
