Finding Text Books: Get Text Book Information

How to find out what text books you need using the STARS course search feature, and where to find and get them.

Finding text books!

To locate the required textbooks for your courses at WIU, refer to the course information in the university's catalog. This will specify the necessary texts for each of your classes. Once you have the textbook details, visit the WIU bookstore, either online or in-person. The bookstore organizes materials by course, so you can easily find and purchase the required books.

If ordering online, simply add the texts to your cart and complete the checkout process. For in-person visits, the bookstore staff can assist you in locating and obtaining the necessary course materials. It's recommended to complete this process prior to the start of the semester to ensure you have the books ready for the first day of classes. This may also provide opportunities to find used or discounted textbook options.
