Loan Periods

AU Core Titles

AU Library is keeping the cost of textbooks down by purchasing books that students can share. The library started this project in 2009 to place one copy of every required AU Core text for the fall and spring semesters on reserve. All texts can be found through the library catalog and your instructor's Canvas course page.
