How are students able to find out what textbooks will be used in their courses?

There are a few ways you can find out what books you need for your classes.

  1. Look at the syllabus (the document that contains all course information including required texts, exam dates, and professor expectations) and see what's listed there
  2. Check the Bookstore's website⁕ and search using your course information from CUNYFirst
  3. Email your professor and ask them

⁕Remember, the Bookstore and Library are separate. If you wish to purchase or pay to rent books from the Bookstore, please ask them for help. Or, you can borrow books from us for free and we can help you find what you need.
