Q. Can textbooks can be checked out?

As long as the textbook is not a restricted item and is located in the general stacks it can circulate the same as any other book in the library.

Generally, though, Fondren Library does not have textbooks unless the professors give us copies to place on Course Reserves--in which case, the books are usually building-use-only and checked out for a limited number of hours. Check with the circulation desk, your professors, and the Course Reserves page for more details.
