- Prescribed text books and readings
- Your lecturer will supply you with a list of prescribed textbooks, readings and other resources for your units. As textbooks and required readings are in high demand and likely to be recalled to lend to other students the Library recommends you purchase your own copies.
Textbooks and required readings can be purchased from the CDU Bookshop. You can also check whether any of your texts are available second-hand through the CDU Bookshop's buy-back scheme. Your lecturer or information on Learnline can offer you further advice on this matter
