I've placed many of the textbooks currently used in classes in their own location, next to the Reference books. Both 'Textbooks' and 'Reference' books are for use within the library and are not available for check-out, so I thought they might get along next to one another.
The Textbooks are now grouped into two categories: Art and Design, and Culinary. In future, I hope to arrange them by course number. This will help students find the books they need and also help me get the items out on the shelf faster (no pesky call number labels to affix). Note to Faculty: you can help with this effort by emailing me a list of texts you are currently using, or will be using, in your classes.
Although the books in the Textbook collection do not circulate, the Library sometimes owns extra copies of a title which can be checked out. Please search the catalog for items in the 'Stacks' or ask for help if you want to find a circulating copy of a particular book.
Some high-demand textbooks will continue to be designated as 'Reserve' items and must be signed out at the circulation desk for use within the Library (the math books, for example).
