Books & eBooks: Textbooks

This guide will help you find a specific book or books about a topic.

Textbooks at Auraria Library

Auraria Library does not have every textbook. Some instructors place textbooks on reserve (see below for instructions to find these) and occasionally, but rarely, Auraria Library purchases textbooks. If you don't find your textbooks on Reserve or at the Library, you can borrow the book through Prospector or Interlibrary Loan, as well as rent or purchase the textbook through Tivoli Station, the campus bookstore, or an online bookstore. 

To find the title of your textbooks, look at your course's syllabus, the course readings in your online management system (Canvas or D2L), or search Tivoli Station's course textbooks. 

We recommend you talk with your instructor or attend class BEFORE purchasing your textbooks whenever possible.

Find Your Textbooks at Tivoli Bookstore

  1. On the Tivoli Station main webpage, click on your school's "Visit our store" link.
  2. Use the "Course Materials and Textbooks" dropdown menu to select "Find Course Materials and Textbooks"  
  3. Make sure your school is named above the "Select Your Courses" menu. 
  4. Using the dropdown menus, select the term, department(s), course(s), and section(s) you are enrolled in.
  5. Then click the "Retrieve Materials" button.
  6. Once your materials appear, be sure to look at which ones are “required” and which ones say “Go to class first.” Your instructor might tell you a book is optional.
  7. To purchase or rent the book, use the "Select Format" drop down menu for each book.
