Textbooks

Ordering textbooks

Faculty should order all textbooks (graduate and undergraduate), including copies for students to buy at the Bay Tree Bookstore about two months before classes start. You may order textbooks online. To order desk copies for yourself or TAs, please contact Amy Kornberg for assistance.

Reserve books

McHenry Library and the Science Library will be happy to place books on reserve for your class. Normally, information is due about two months before classes begin. To reserve books from McHenry Library email bookreserves@ucsc.edu, and for the Science Library email bookreserves@ucsc.edu. For more information, please visit https://library.ucsc.edu/.

Other course readings

If you wish to provide other material (e.g. unpublished manuscripts, articles) you can arrange for the duplication of this material. The Front Office staff can assist with small copy jobs. For voluminous copy jobs, we typically use the UCSC Copy Center. Having a course reader for students to purchase may be preferable to requiring students to read many library reserve materials. Please use these forms to request a course copy job.
