How do I purchase books? There are two ways for online students to obtain books.
You may order them directly from the Minnesota West Bookstore or you may purchase them from an online bookstore. Minnesota West has made arrangements with e-Follett to provide textbooks to our students. Both procedures are covered on the bookstore page. You should order your books BEFORE the class starts to ensure that you have books when the class begins. What if I need library resources? Online students have access to the Minnesota West libraries web site. You can search the library MnPALS catalog and order books through interlibrary loan. The Periodicals/Database page provides access to 20+ databases of full text articles and full text subject reference resources. The Web Links by Subject page links to hundreds of general and subject websites to assist you in your research. Writing a paper and need to cite your sources?
