Saving Money on Textbooks

The SUNY Adirondack Library offers selected textbooks on reserve at the Circulation Desk on the main floor.

  • Only a small percent of courses have textbooks on reserve.
  • Textbooks for more heavily-enrolled courses are more likely to be on reserve.
  • Reserve textbooks must be used in the library. 
  • Students may ask their professor to request that a course's textbooks be put on reserve. If the budget allows, the library may purchase a textbook for a specific course.
