3 Ways to Access Textbooks
Self-Service
The first way is by clicking the green course title link for the class on Self-Service, either on the Search page, or on the Register for Classes page. Clicking the course title link will open up the “Section Details” page for the class. At the bottom of the Section Details page, you will see another green link that says, “Bookstore Information”. If you click on it, you should be taken to the online bookstore web page for the class, which will show you the textbook and any other materials needed for your class.
Canvas
The second way to see the materials for your class is by clicking the “My Bookstore” link near the bottom of the vertical menu on the left side of your Canvas dashboard. Again, if you click on it, you should be taken to the online bookstore page that lists the book and materials needed for your class.
Book Store
The third way to see the materials for your class is by going directly through the Book Store on your campus. The “Bookstore” link for each campus can be found by going to the campus website, and then going to “Campus Life”.
The Bookstore web page will give you information about the hours and contact info for your campus book store, links to shop online for books, supplies, and other merch, and a link to their Online Book Store. Here are the links for the Bookstore page on each of our college campuses (students at the Oakhurst Center should go through the Madera Community College website):
Clovis Community College Bookstore
Fresno City College Bookstore
Madera Community College and Oakhurst Center Bookstore
Reedley College Bookstore
