Textbooks may be purchased from the Bookstore which also has an online database of which books are required for which classes. However, it is often cheaper to buy the books from such websites as Amazon.com or Half.com.

Tau Beta Pi holds a bookswap each semester in Nord. Prices there are all chosen by the sellers, and the organization takes a 10% cut off of the seller's profit. The selection is not as good as the bookstore's, but you can find most of the textbooks for intro courses there, and the prices are good.
