Textbooks, Libraries and Professional Journals

Textbooks

Books for courses in the Rehabilitation Counseling Program typically may be purchased at the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU) Bookstore. Educational material can be charged here on the student's University I.D. card. Sometimes reading packets are purchased at Copy Centers as directed by the course instructor. Alternatively a checkout system is often available for single readings from faculty. Students should be prepared to accept the responsibility of beginning to build their own professional reference library throughout their curriculum. Textbooks and recommended references will be indicated to the students periodically by faculty. Although this will involve significant investment, it will constitute a recognized asset in future professional practice.

Some textbooks and assigned readings will be put on Reserve at a library on campus. Such Reserve Readings will be announced in class and be available during library hours.
