The library does not have copies of every textbook for every class, but we do have some books and textbooks that have been placed on Reserve by instructors for student use. Items on reserve are located at the Circulation Desk in the Library lobby and may only be used in the Library.
To search the Reserve Desk, go to the library's homepage, click on Library Catalogs, select KeissCat and then select Reserve Desk. You can then search by instructor, course number or course name. Click HERE to search for items on the Reserve Desk. Click HERE for print directions on how to search by instructor, course number or course name. Click HERE for a short video how to search.
If the item is not available on reserve, it is possible we may have a copy or an older edition in our collection.
To search the library's print collection, from the library's homepage, click on Library Catalogs and select KeissCat. You can search by title, author, or subject keyword, and this search will retrieve books in the library's print collection.
To search for an eBook, you can search the title using the KeisSearch box on the library's homepage, then click the Source Type filter and select eBooks; this will filter out any reviews or abstracts in the results.
Please note: If you are searching from off-campus, click the icon "Connect from Off-Campus" on the homepage for full access to Keiss Library resources.
If we do not have the textbook, you can contact the Campus Bookstore at 215-641-9080 or email:gwynedd@bkstr.com
Interlibrary Loan is prohibited for textbooks.
