We know textbooks can be expensive, and we want to help you save money this term. Here are some tips for finding less expensive or even free course materials:
At PSU Library
- Did your instructor place your course readings on reserve? Search for course reserves by book title, course number, department, or instructor name.
- Does PSU Library or a Summit library have your book? Search the catalog to find books at PSU and Summit Libraries.

Sometimes the Library owns a copy of a textbook but your instructor hasn’t placed it on reserve. Sometimes an instructor might have an additional copy as well. Consider asking your instructor to place a copy of the course readings on reserve.
Note: unfortunately, you may not borrow required course readings through Interlibrary Loan, and not all Summit libraries will loan textbooks.
