Looking for textbooks?

by Stephanie Rosenblatt on August 24, 2010



College textbooks

Unfortunately, the Pollak Library doesn’t buy textbooks.  However, you’re often asked to purchase books that aren’t  textbooks and you can look for those books using Find Books which will search the Pollak and area public libraries.  Just remember:  in most cases you won’t be able to borrow the book for the entire semester.

Where can you get textbooks?

New & used print copies

Rental books & Digital or Ebooks

  • Titan Shops Bookstore Rental and Ebooks
  • Amazon, Barnes & Noble
  • CourseSmart Ebooks, including formats for the iPad and iPhone. This website offers E-copies of textbooks not offered by Titan Shops.

thanks for the links. I believe a better alternative to Addall is Dealoz.com – I compared different books and I always got the lowest price at Dealoz
