Program provides students access to books required for most freshmen courses
The Textbook Reserve Program that Rider University launched in the fall will continue in the spring semester. The program provides students access to books required for most freshmen courses (100 level).
The goal of the program is to help reduce some of the expenses incurred through the purchase of required course materials, as well as to increase access to the books students need for their academic success.
More than 100 books are now available in the reserve sections of both the Moore Library on the Lawrenceville campus and the Talbott Library on the Princeton campus.
To take advantage of the program, students must present their Rider ID cards to a librarian at the Circulation Desk. Textbooks may be signed out in two-hour increments for use within the libraries. They cannot be checked out.
A list of available textbooks can be found in the library catalog by visiting www.rider.edu/academics/libraries and following these instructions.
Choose the FIND BOOKS AND MORE tab and search for one of the following:
- Professor's name (i.e. Wilner) or
- Course number (i.e. BHP 100) or
- Book title (i.e. World of Ideas)
For a comprehensive list, search “textbook.” Then, on the next pageunder the left-hand navigation, the search may be refined by either course or professor.
Students who are unfamiliar with the catalog can always ask a librarian for assistance.
The program was initiated by President Gregory G. Dell’Omo, Ph.D.
