Library DIY

Welcome to the Library DIY, created to help you walk through some of the most commonly asked research and library questions!

Look for a textbook

The BVU Library usually does not have textbooks, but you can search for the book title in the library catalog. Often textbooks have more than one edition, so you may want to check the publication year of the book you need.

If we do not have a copy of your textbook for checkout, you can ask to see if your professor has put your textbook on reserve. 

If the textbook is not available through these channels, look at options for purchasing the book from the BVU Booklist link in BeaverNet or elsewhere online.
