Where do you send someone who is looking for a text book for class, but it was not reserved by the teacher?

The Library does not normally purchase textbooks for a number of reasons. They are costly, change often, and would maybe even be stolen. So we don't normally have textbooks in our general collection. We have textbooks on Reserve but that is because the teacher usually puts a copy of their own there. But not every teacher puts items on Reserve for their class.

If someone has a title of a book you can look it up in our catalog and see if we may have a copy of the book they need. If not then they will need to purchase the book for the class.
