Do you know about the NEIU Libraries Textbook Reserve Collection?

08/24/2022

Robin Harris

Are you looking for textbooks or required readings? We will purchase textbooks for NEIU students to use in the library!

The selection process focuses on frequently used textbooks to ensure that all students have access to their course materials through effective and affordable ways. We add new copies to the Textbook Reserve Collection at the beginning of each semester based on faculty requests. Textbooks can be checked out for two hours, and they must remain in the library during that time period. See if we have a textbook you need on reserve, or ask your instructor to put in a request!
