Textbooks
The SUNY Poly Online Bookstore, powered by Akademos by VitalSource, provides a convenient, affordable, and personalized way to purchase course materials. Available 24/7 at sunypoly.vitalsource.com, the online bookstore offers a wide selection of physical and digital textbooks while helping students save money through multiple purchasing options.
Students can order physical course materials and choose to have them shipped directly to their home or to the Wildcat Den for pickup. Digital course materials are available immediately after purchase and can be accessed anytime through My Library within the online bookstore.
If you choose campus pickup, you'll receive an email from Vital Source that is sent when your order is ready to be picked up. Please note that the shipping notification from VitalSource simply means your order has arrived on campus—it does not mean it is available for pickup. Orders are processed by the Wildcat Den staff, and you'll receive a separate notification when your materials are ready. A valid SUNY Poly ID is required when picking up your order.
