Q. Does the library have textbooks for my classes?

We typically do not purchase textbooks assigned for University of Memphis courses. Textbooks for your classes can be obtained through the University Bookstore, which is located on the main campus across from the Michael D. Rose Theatre and behind the University Center.

There are two cases where we might have your textbook: course reserves and Textbooks for Tiger Veterans.

Course Reserves

• Some professors put a personal copy of required readings on reserve for short-term checkout.
• To see if your textbook is available, search by your class or your instructor's name. 
• If your professor put required readings on reserve at the library, visit the Check Out Desk at the McWherter Library to use them. Be sure to have your ID with you.

Textbooks for Tiger Veterans

A special collection of textbooks is available for military-connected students at the University of Memphis. View the collection page for information on how to search the collection and checkout a textbook.
