Textbook (Reserves) Policy

The library maintains many textbooks on reserve for short-term use by currently enrolled Ivy Tech students. Faculty and staff currently enrolled in an Ivy Tech class may check out the textbook for the class they are enrolled in.  
Please check with a librarian to see if we have one for your class. Due to the new digital textbooks available through Ivy+, our textbook collection will be limited.
