Fall 2024 required and optional textbooks for classes are now available!

Pick your school/college, then your program, and finally the course. It’s as easy as that. Access textbook copies at the Health Sciences Library here.

Note: Paper copies will be available at Ellis Library for 24 hour checkout time during the Health Sciences Library Renovation. Any duplicate copies of textbooks are available and subject to regular check out times.

Some ebooks are limited to one viewer at a time, so please close your browser window when you are finished so that the book will be available to others.

Unfortunately, we don’t have all the books required for every class. If we don’t have your textbook, there are several avenues you can use to find a copy, which are all clearly labeled on each class page.

You can also recommend the Health Sciences Library purchase an online copy here. Please provide what course the textbook is for and the name of your instructor.

Some others we need to thank: Ellis Library Circulation, Engineering Library, and the Journalism Library for letting us use all the ipads; Ellis Library shelving for shelving all the books we used during the event; Gayle Mooney helping order all the items we needed; and everyone who volunteered for the escape room run through back in July;  And for safety team who stayed later to make sure we had time to clean up. And to anyone else we may have missed. 🙂

It takes a lot of people to help with this event and we appreciate all the time, big or small, you’ve contributed to make this fun event happen for the new Mizzou students.
