Q. I am a new faculty member, does the library purchase the textbook for my class and keep it as a reserve?

Typically the Library does not purchase textbooks for classes. However you can submit a request for the books and the subject liasion will review it for you.

If you would like to speak directly with the librarian for your subject area, visit the subject librarian page to determine the librarian in your discipline.
