Finding textbooks and course materials

In partnership with the University of Minnesota Bookstores, the University Libraries provides you with a list of free U of M required books. All books are free for U of MN - Twin Cities’ students to read online and to checkout.

 

New in Fall 2024: Course Works

ALL undergraduate students will be automatically enrolled in a program called Course Works COMPLETE. It will provide ALL of the textbooks and required course readings for ALL the courses you are taking for a fee of $279 for fall semester (this fee is added to your student account). 

Beginning mid-August, log in to Canvas to get to and read your textbooks and readings.

For graduate students and undergraduates who have “opted-out” 

Course Works COMPLETE is not available for graduate students. Undergraduate students can “opt-out” for fall semester if they take action by September 16, 2024. If you “opt-out,” the Libraries can help you to get your textbooks and readings as we have in past semesters. 

Beginning mid-August, log in to Canvas to opt-out.
