I want to get the books I need for my class. What do I need to do?
Answer
If you want to buy your textbooks or rent them for the semester or need a digital copy or an access code, that happens at the TC Bookstore.
- To see what books you need, go to SelfService.
- Sign in with your TC3 email account.
- Put your cursor on "Registration" and in the menu that drops down choose "Purchase books for registered courses."
- Select the semester.
The classes you are registered for and any books your teachers require will be listed there on the bookstore's site.
The Library often owns copies of textbooks that you can borrow for up to two hours at a time.
If you are on campus, come into the library and borrow a textbook from the Service Desk. You will be asked for your student ID card. Copiers and scanners are available.
If you are off campus, you can ask us to scan and email you portions of textbooks.
Search the library's catalog to see what textbooks we own. If you don't see it, ask us and we'll try to get a copy as soon as we can.
