Resource for Textbooks
VitalSource Bookshelf lends up to 7 ebooks at no cost until May 25. It has a wide collection of books and the ebook of HMGT 1105 is also available. I am unsure if students can also rent seven books though.
If you want to use this resource, go to the site and create a user id (use your City Tech email) then simply look for the text book, make sure you access the 8th edition. I did this and it worked (my book is on campus).
