GET YOUR TEXTBOOKS FAST AND EASY. Using TextLink is the easiest and the fastest way to get your textbooks. There are three ways you can search for your books: Enter your Course Subject, Course number and Course Section number for the specific class that you want to search for. (Example: ENGL 153-02) Enter your student ID number (usually your social security number) and University PIN number (usually your birth date) just like TRACS. This feature will be available on December 15, 1999, once TRACS has completed its scheduling tasks. Or if you wish to search for a specific book: Enter the book's ISBN number (usually found on the back of the book). You can also search by the Author or Title of the book you wish to find. With either of these methods, we will show you what books, class packets, software, and any other course materials your instructor has specified. Then just click on the materials you want and you’re ready to check out.
