Textbook Reserve program available for Southeastern students

Press Release Date: 08-10-2009

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern Oklahoma State University is again offering the Textbook Reserve Program in an effort to meet the needs of its students.

This second-year program is designed to help offset the financial burden imposed on students by making available – free of charge -- required textbooks for basic courses.

All students who are enrolled for the Fall 2009 semester are eligible to participate in the program. The reserve books will be located in the Henry G. Bennett Memorial Library on campus. Inquiries should be made at the circulation desk.

This year the program has been expanded to make available textbooks for all classes being taught on the main campus. Sharon Morrison, Library Director, encourages students to check the Textbook Reserve Program (TRP) website www.se.edu/lib/trp for textbook availability. Students can check by course number, course title or faculty name.

Students must have valid Southeastern identification and books may be checked out for room use only. Textbooks may be checked out for a 2-hour period, but may not be removed from the library or be checked out overnight.

The original Textbook Reserve Program committee –Morrison; Dr. Bryon Clark, (Dean of the School of Graduate and University Studies); Adam Lovell, (then-president of the Student Government Association); and Sharon Robinson, (vice-president of Student Affairs) – worked on the program for several weeks to ensure its successful start-up last year.

The textbooks may be checked out from the library staff at the front desk during regular hours – 7:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Friday; 1 p.m.-5 p.m. Saturday; 3 p.m.-10 p.m. Sunday).
