Q. Can I get textbooks for my ASU classes from the library?


Answer


Note:
ASU BOOKSTORES:
Sun Devil Campus Stores are NOT affiliated with ASU Library.

If you wish to buy or rent textbooks for your ASU course(s), go to the Sun Devil Campus Store (ASU Bookstore) website to see which textbooks are available for purchase or rental (physical and/or digital books are included).

 

ASU Library

Just remember that ALL library items are subject to Recall. Here is a link to our Recall Policy.

Recall Due Dates and Notices

  • When an item is recalled, the due date for that item automatically changes and a Recall Notice is sent.
  • Recall of an item may shorten the original loan period.
  • Recalls are due 3 weeks after the recall request, unless the original due date is within 3 weeks.
  • Due to the strict enforcement of the recall process, failure to receive a recall notice does not absolve the borrower from knowing an item is recalled.

If you would like to see if ASU Library has a copy, or access to a copy, of your textbook(s) for use or checkout, follow the steps below.  

  • Check our One Search
    • On the library home page: https://lib.asu.edu
    • In the One Search search bar, enter and search one of the following:
      • Title of book, video, etc.
      • ISBN number for the book
  • Another method is to search the ASU Library Catalog:
    • Change the dropdown from One Search to ASU Library Catalog
    • Enter any one of the following:
      • ISBN number
      • Title of the item
        • Note: Place quotation marks around the title. This forces it to be searched as a phrase.
      • Author of the item
        • Then look through the list of items by that author.

Note: Textbooks for your ASU classes are not requestable through Interlibrary Loan.
