Textbook FAQs

How do I know which textbook is required for my course?
Required textbooks are listed in the Tabor Online student centre site, accessible via your dashboard.

Are textbooks sold on campus?
There are no bookstores onsite. However, students can list used textbooks for sale on the Buy/Sell Secondhand books forum on the library page of Tabor Online.

Where can I purchase textbooks?
Textbooks can be purchased online or from a physical bookshop. Check out the textbook suppliers information on this page for some recommendations.

Textbooks in the Library

Search the library catalogue for your required text.  Physical copies are located in the ASK (high demand) collection. Electronic copies (ebooks) can be accessed via the catalogue. Relying on access to the library copy rather than purchasing your own copy may be difficult for extended periods.
