Textbook Options: Saving Money

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.
