Books added to the Textbook Collection are in the format of a textbook and are requested by a faculty member for a class.
The library considers purchasing textbooks based off of faculty requests and usage in class.
To add a book to the Textbook Collection, the instructor must request the book be added by emailing library@goucher.edu. The book is purchased by the library and becomes a permanent part of the collection. If an instructor wanted to use a book that they own, that item must be added to the course reserves.
The textbook collection currently has a loan period of 24-hours.
Helpful Hint: if you prefer a shorter loan period, request the textbook to be added to the course reserves.
