Welcome to the University Bookstore. We're here today to show you how to purchase your textbooks simply and quickly. Let's go. The textbooks are located on the lower level of the University Bookstore. So let's head down. Please note that there's no backpacks or purses allowed on the text floor. So make sure you use one of our three lockers before you head down. Oh, and don't forget, you're going to need your schedule and your wallet. This is the text floor of the University Bookstore. The first thing to do is head inside to the directory. It's important to bring your class schedule along because each of your classes is listed in the directory by IELMember. So my Finance 300 course is listed here under Finance in IEL3. Once you find your IEL, you want to start looking at the white shelf tags. They list class n You want to find your class n Once you find your class n There's a lot of information on the shelf tag, but don't freak out. You only really need to look at four pieces of information. The first thing you're looking for is your class n Which would match your schedule, Finance 300. N Some classes have multiple lecture or section n Make sure you have your schedule handy so N I only have one, so I'm all set. The fourth thing is whether a book is recommended or required. Here's where it would say recommended. This one's not, so I have to buy it. This is what a book will look Recommended books are not necessary for your class, but your professor thinks that they might be helpful. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to purchase it. Once you've determined that the book is the right book for your class, you can browse through and pick a book that's good for you. There are new and used books available at the University Bookstore. Used books have this little use stickers. This one doesn't, so it's new. I'm going to go for used. It's cheaper. The price is also listed on the shelf tag. Once you find a book that looks good, you're good to go. If you're having trouble or your class doesn't have a white shelf tag, there's plenty of helpful staff members around to help you out. Can I help you? There's also a service counter at the end of aisle two if you have any other questions. You
