Textbook List

Textbooks may be purchased new or used from other sources as well.  If doing so, students must:

1.  Be absolutely certain that they are ordering the correct edition.  The ISBN numbers for the correct edition of each text are shown in the chart below. 

2.  Allow time for delivery well in advance of class start date.  Independent sellers of texts may not guarantee on-time delivery, and remaining without a text in accelerated classes for even a few days can cause students to fall significantly behind in their coursework.   

 NOTES:  (1) Operations Management textbooks are available at the University of Arkansas Bookstore for Fayetteville site students only; (2)  Only undergraduate prerequisite textbooks are available for rental through site coordinators; (3)  a U of A website called “Hog Auction" allows students from all MSOM sites to buy, sell and trade books. To register:  http://bookstore.uark.edu/auction.    Please note that MSOM is not listed as a separate department.  When searching for books to buy or listing books for sale on Hog Auction, select the Department of Industrial Engineering.
