Course Reserves
A note from Leslie Smith, Textbook Manager: If you previously accessed textbooks via the library, shared a book with a classmate, or left your books on campus, visit bookshelf.vitalsource.com to access free ebooks through May 25. VitalSource Helps provides access to an expansive catalog of ebooks, but some content may not be available. To access free materials, you must use your Westmont.edu email address to log in or create an account. Before you get started, we encourage you to review this student FAQ. If you already have a Bookshelf Vital Source account with a non-Westmont email address, you may either edit the email address in your existing profile or simply create a new account.
To place materials on course reserve, please fill out the Course Reserve Request Form and return the form to the library, or email Ruth Angelos
