Text book costs

[ss20ts]

There aren't any textbooks for YourPace students. Your reading material is in the course content. No outside books are needed. There aren't assignments that need outside books. Peer reviewed journal articles are required for most classes. I'm not aware of any that accepted anything else. I was in the business department so maybe another department is a bit different.

For the library, you need to access the digital databases. EBSCO and ProQuest are the two suggested by the librarian. These are often used by other schools as well. Make sure you're using the peer reviewed scholarly journals for your sources. Books won't cut it for some professors.

If you login to MaineStreet, Google Scholar operates differently and you'll be able to read way more articles. Click on the blue box that says FIND ARTICLES. A dropdown menu appears and if you click on Databases another tab will open with a list of databases you can access through UMPI's library.
