Subject: Library Textbooks
<p>Hi students,</p> <p>Many courses at UAGC opt to use electronic textbooks available within the library collection, which is great because it saves students money that would otherwise go to purchasing texts for the course. These texts typically come from the Ebook Central database, although they can be found in other Ebook databases the library subscribes to.</p> <p>This <a class="inline_disabled" href="https://content.bridgepointeducation.com/curriculum/file/42cab5ed-b25b-418b-a88c-d6a9097c97f5/1/Library%20Textbooks%20tip%20sheet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Library Textbook tip sheet</a> can walk you through how to access your course textbook in the library. If your text is listed as being from Contstellation, VitalSource, or Redshelf, this <a class="inline_disabled" href="https://uagconline.libanswers.com/faq/241346" target="_blank" rel="noopener">textbook QuickAnswer</a> can walk you through how to access these external texts.</p> <p>If you have questions about your textbook or any other materials in the library, remember that you can always reach out to your UAGC Librarians through chat via the 24/7 Library Tutoring button on the library website, via email at <a href="mailto:library@uagc.edu," target="_blank" rel="noopener">library@uagc.edu,</a> or over the phone M-Th from 1pm to 5pm PT by calling 1-866-685-8089.</p>
