Getting+Textbooks

=Textbooks= Students can find information about the textbooks required for their classes by going to the course schedule for the semester in which they are enrolled on the SLIS website and clicking the button at the top that says "Show textbook information."

Locally
There are a number of ways to get the books that SLIS students need. Students who live in or near Indianapolis can visit:

[|Barnes and Noble in the Campus Center]. Located in the Campus Center at 420 University Boulevard, the campus bookstore offers textbooks, school supplies, some office supplies, apparel and other gifts, popular books, and a café. You can also order your books online from the Barnes and Noble bookstore. [|Textbook Alternative] At 222 W. Michigan St., Textbook Alternative sells new and used textbooks. They also offer year-round buy-back of used textbooks and there is a coffeehouse next door.

Another option is to purchase your textbooks online. There are many places you can do this. One option is to check with the publisher. Many textbook publishers sell their books directly online.

[|Amazon.com] Some textbooks may be available new or used through Amazon.

[|Powell's] Here's the link to [|Powell's textbook site]. New and used titles are available.

[|Borders] Use the search box to find the titles you need. Shipping is free if you have your books shipped to your nearest Borders or Waldenbooks.

[|Ecampus.com] Search for your textbooks. Free shipping is available for orders over $59. They also buy back books here.
