Unfortunately the laboratory manual can only be ordered from the campus bookstore. It should be available one week before classes start. 2. Online Ordering : For
ordering all materials except the laboratory manual.
Since the prices of texts books is definitely a concern you
may want to look into purchasing textbooks from a less
expensive internet vendor. The only concern is how long
it will take to deliver the text. If you choose to order
from an internet site and your text does not arrive when

using the text on reserve in the library. 3. WVC Library (Reserve Desk) : The Library's reserve desk will have one copy of the current text book which can be checked out for 2 hour blocks of time. Do not wait until the last minute to do your reading since others may also be relying on the reserve text for their reading.

Make
getting
into a lab a priority.I will
only ADD students that are registered in a lab
section. There is plenty of space in lecture
(this is not a problem), it is the lab which has the
constraint on enrollment.
