Western Libraries, like many academic libraries, avoids collecting and handling textbooks through inter-library loan and our demand-driven acquisitions program. This is because circulation periods are inadequate for quarter long use and textbooks become obsolete quickly. The cost of purchasing textbooks for numerous users is prohibitive as well.
It you have questions about this policy please let us know.
