University Libraries Textbook Resource Guide: Spring 2024

Home

Welcome to the University Libraries Textbook Resource Guide. This guide is a service to students who inquire about textbook availability in the library. The library liaisons purchase unlimited use eBooks whenever possible for books used in the curriculum. Some titles are also available in the library’s physical book collection. Below is a selected list of textbooks for the Spring 2024 semester that are available to students through the UR Library Catalog. Click on the title to locate the call number or the eBook link. We have also included links to books that are freely available on the internet.

If you do not find a textbook title on this list, you can also double-check and search the exact title in the UR Library Catalog.

For other assigned readings that may be available in the library, check the course reserves catalog by course or professor or search the UR Library Catalog.

For any assistance with Course Reserve material, please contact Alissa at apotter@richmond.edu or submit requests directly here.

Contact Carol Wittig to inquire about eBook availability and access.
