Does the institution host a peer-to-peer textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project?:
A brief description of the textbook exchange program, textbook lending library, or alternate textbook project:
The Libraries provide course reserve materials electronically so that all students can easily access materials on and off campus. When an e-book version is not available, we will provide access to physical course reserves. If faculty requests a course reserve item not currently in our collection, the Libraries will purchase the e-book version if available and compatible with our platform.
