General information about textbooks that might be helpful. ISBNs represent the textbook and the way it is published (loose leaf, hardback, etc) and there may be multiple ISBNs because of this. The ISBN above is for the loose leaf version and if you search outside of PCC, will be useful. I have ordered a custom version for purchase in the Rock Creek Bookstore. The key is to compare the Authors, Year, Title and Edition listed above to know if you are indeed looking at the correct version of the text.
If you are unfamiliar with the bookstore, you can search for your text at the Rock Creek Bookstore. Students can sell their books directly to other students through the marketplace. If your textbooks this term are not available consider selling yours next term so that it is for the next group of students.
Required Access: Desire to Learn will be used for this class for coursework. You can access Desire2learn through MyPCC on the Quick Links Menu on the left side of the home page. Computer labs are available on each campus. See the PCC Resource Index (https://www.pcc.edu/resources/#student) for details.
