How to Find Your Textbooks
In order to find your textbooks at Mesa State College Bookstore, you will need to bring a copy of your schedule which can be obtained from the Registrar's Office, or from the Student Login Page.
The information necessary to find textbooks is the course name, course number, and section number (which is different from the CRN). The General Psychology 150-001 class would appear as PSYC 150-001. The first three digits are the course number, and the second three digits are the course section. Knowing all six digits is imperative because different course sections may have different textbooks, i.e. PSYC 150-001 and PSYC 150-004 have different textbooks.
The textbooks are arranged in the store alphabetically by department name.
The textbooks are identified by shelf tags that display
information about the class and the textbook, as shown in Diagram 1. Yellow
shelf tags are for Montrose classes.

The shelf tag will also display how many textbooks are required for one class, and if the textbook listed on the tag is required. In the example above, the tag shows that there are two required textbooks for BIOL 107L-001, and the textbook listed, Photographic Atlas/Botany Lab, is required.
Finding your textbooks is simple: match your schedule to the shelf tag.
