Is there a way to access textbooks for free from the library?

I would like to know if there is a way to access textbooks for free from the library. Can I access the textbooks even when the library is closed?


Answer

Yes! From the Library website, click the "Need a Textbook" link, and then browse by course to find the textbook you need. You will see both print and online access options here. 

Our PDF and eBook textbooks are available online anytime with your Cabrillo login. Some check out for 2 hours at a time, while others have no time limit.

Print textbooks check out for the entire semester.

Need a textbook link is in between OneSearch link and Ask a Librarian link
