Erikson doesn’t have a campus bookstore, so you can purchase your textbooks from any brick-and-mortar or online bookstore. The library may have your textbook available in print. Many textbooks are also available as an eBook.


  • Textbook Lists:

    • The complete list for each Erikson course will now be listed on the "Textbooks and Course readings" page of the library website (This is the same site that you will be redirected to if you click on the "Course Textbooks" link through my.erikson). 
    • The lists will be updated towards the end of the current semester and will reflect the upcoming semester, once the new course registration is open.
    • Textbooks are also listed in your syllabus and in the Readings section of your course in EriksonOnline (Canvas).

  • Library options:

    • The Edward Neisser Library has at least one copy of required texts for most on-campus courses, kept at the circulation desk for use in the library. If there are multiple copies, they can be checked out. 
    • Many are also available as eBooks with options to save and download, though license terms vary. Use the "Course Reserves" feature in the library catalog to find what’s available in print or online for your course. If you don’t see your course listed, the library does not have any of the course’s textbooks. TIP: search for the desired term in the search box located on the top left of the course reserves list OR click on the "Term" column to sort by semester.

    • Check out our "tag Cloud" to search for older editions of required texts via course ID numbers. Please keep in mind it is up to the discretion of each instructor whether they will allow the use of older text editions for each course. 

  • Purchasing Options:

    • To price compare online, you might find the site www.isbn.nu to be helpful. Other popular sites to purchase textbooks are Amazon and Barnes & Noble. 
    • If you need a textbook digitized for accessibility needs, please contact Whitney Mittons at wmittons@erikson.edu.
