• Indiana University Bookstore
  Indiana Memorial Union Bldg., 855-4352
  The main source for university courses. Carries, of course, all course texts. They offer on-line Textbook Reservation for undergrad as well as grad students which helps prevent the possibility of you having to compete with those who did not take advantage of the reservation service. They also have a special order service. VISA, Master Card, and Discover credit cards accepted. Locations are at the IMU and in Eigenmann residence hall.

• TIS College Bookstore
  1302 East 3rd St., 332-3306
  IU bookstore's largest competitor. Almost all course texts are available early in the semester, but if you're looking for used texts can be scare by mid-semester; prices are usually about 10% below IU, but not in all cases. We recommend comparison shopping between IU and TIS for the best bargains. All major credit cards and local checks accepted.
