Textbooks are on Reserve at:

Cabrillo College Library (Aptos)
Computer Tech Center--CTC, Building 1400 (Aptos)
ILC in Watsonville
Scotts Valley Center

If the cost of a required textbook is $50.00 or more, a single copy of those textbooks will be on reserve. The reserve textbooks are intended for shared use. Most of the reserve textbooks are located in the Cabrillo library on the Aptos campus. The textbooks for CIS, CS, CABT and DM courses are on reserve in the CTC in Aptos. If the course is taught at the Watsonville Center a copy will be on reserve at the Integrated Learning Center (ILC) in Watsonville. If the course is taught at the Scotts Valley Center the books will be available for shared use in the Admissions and Records office.

This innovative textbook loan program is funded by a grant from the Cabrillo College Student Senate. The goal of the program is to guarantee that at least one copy of the most expensive required textbooks is on reserve.

To find a reserve textbook :

  1. Look up the title of a textbook in the library catalog, or
  2. Look up the Course Name or Instructor Name under "Course Reserves," or
  3. Ask a librarian for help locating the textbook's call number.
  4. Note the LOCATION of the textbook you are looking for.
  5. Write down the call number or reserve number of the textbook and ask for the book at the LOCATION indicated in the catalog record.
  6. The textbooks at the library can be checked out for a 2 hour loan period.
