News and Announcements

College textbooks are expensive. FAU Faculty, you can make a difference! Donate your current textbooks to the University Libraries Textbook Reserves collection. For faculty or instructors who prefer to loan their textbooks for a semester, see Faculty Guidelines for FAU Course Reserves to place textbooks and other course materials on Course Reserves. A single textbook available via the Library Textbook Reserves means up to 150 students can access it during the semester.
