The Galvin Library will purchase one copy of each required undergraduate textbook that has been submitted to the IIT Bookstore for inclusion in the library's Course Reserve Collection.
You can find textbooks need for your course(s) by searching the IIT Bookstore's page.
Course Reserves can also be found by performing a library catalog search limited to Course Reserves. You can search by the book's author, title, or ISBN; you can also search by the course name, number, or instructor.
Textbooks and other course reserves allow students to use materials set aside by faculty to assist in coursework. This may include textbooks, supplemental reading material, etc. For questions on reserves, contact the library at library@illinoistech.edu.
Print Reserve materials are available only at the Circulation Desk. This includes books, videos, textbooks, and other copyrighted material. These materials can only be checked out by the IIT community or members of other I-SHARE libraries. Items MUST stay in the library and be returned within 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.
