Textbooks and Laboratory Manuals Library Collection Policy
Textbooks and laboratory manuals required for courses are not purchased
by the EMU Library. Funds are limited, and the purchase of textbooks
may preclude the purchase of other important library materials. Exceptions
may be made for textbooks that provide the only or best coverage of a
subject, or when the work itself is of a seminal, historical, or other
significant nature.
NOTE: The EMU
Library does not currently receive notification of which books will be
used as textbooks in university classes. You might visit the EMU
Campus Bookstore web site and click the link 'Find Your Textbooks!'
Interlibrary Loan Policy
The EMU library does not borrow from other libraries (interlibrary loan)
the textbooks that are required for classes offered
at Eastern Michigan University. Interlibrary loan only allows you to
keep a book for two weeks, which does not provide sufficient time to study
a text you will need for an entire semester.
Class Reserves
Faculty may request that books owned by the library, personal
copies of faculty-owned textbooks, or other materials,
be placed on Reserve at the Circulation Desk. The library does not automatically place
textbooks on Reserve - a
faculty member must make the request. To see
the print material your professor has asked be put on Reserve, visit
Print
Course Reserves page.
