Textbook Security

Textbooks are an expensive and necessary part of your college education. Year after year they increase in cost. It is necessary for you to take steps to protect your investment:

• Placing your name on the inside of the cover of your books can help deter thieves who would attempt to resell the book.
• Do not leave your textbooks, calculators or book-bags unattended in study rooms, hallways, libraries, cafeterias or unsecured lockers. Record the serial numbers of calculators and computers.
• Thieves know where students leave their belongings unattended and watch for opportunities to take your property. Be suspicious of persons hanging around storage areas, i.e. outside of bookstores, with no apparent purpose. If you see someone suspicious or you discover that you have been victimized, contact the DPS at 206-2700.
