Maybe. Here's how to find out:
- First, find out if the textbook is available in the Hostos Library "Reserve Textbook Collection"
- Use OneSearch to search for the textbook by name.
- After you search, click on "currently on shelf" on the left-hand side of the page, which will show you only physical books that have not been checked out.
- If the result shows "Hostos Library Reserve," that means it is in the Reserve Collection.
- Write down the call number (the code in parentheses), which is the book's address.
- Bring the call number to the Reserves Room on the top floor of the library. You can borrow a Reserves book for two hours - loan times are short so everyone in your class has the chance to read or photocopy that week's assigned reading.)
- If we DON'T have your textbook in the library:
- There's a small chance that we have an ebook version - search in OneSearch (but don't click on "currently on shelf") to see if there is a version that says "available online".
- You can also try one of the public libraries (although they do not often carry textbooks)
- If you need to buy/rent the book, here are some recommendations and advice about finding reputable websites.
