Amazon Associates

The University Library is pleased to announce that it has recently become a member of the Amazon Associates program.

Near the bottom of the “Item Details” window in the library catalogue is a small “Buy from Amazon.com” button. When a user clicks on the button, they are directed to the Amazon site where they have the option of purchasing the item for their personal collections. 

The option to buy a title from Amazon presents our customers with a new way to access our resources. Faculty and graduate students in particular may appreciate the ability to review a title in the Library before adding it to their personal collections, and all visitors to our catalogue will now have the choice of borrowing a title from the library or purchasing a copy of their own.

The Library benefits from the arrangement as well, earning a small referral fee from Amazon on each sale. Amazon will pay these fees to us in the form of Amazon gift certificates. All of our earnings will go directly into the Library’s collections, providing additional support for the purchase of new books.
