Textbook Department

The Cornell Store provides all the textbooks needed for Cornell courses, including new books, used books and custom-published course readers prepared by faculty. This involves processing orders for over 6,000 titles each semester, and then handling over 130,000 individual books. All materials are shelved on the lower level of the store, beginning two weeks before the start of the semester. Books are shelved by course, with all the types of materials for a course in a single location. The courses are laid out in alphabetical order by course abbreviation (which usually corresponds with the department name).

Note: Textbooks for the Johnson Graduate School of Management are shelved at the Johnson School in Sage Hall.

We offer several online services related to textbooks:
