The WSU Libraries offer many ways to request physical items and articles from other libraries. However, the copyright for e-books makes requesting digital copies of entire books complicated, so any Interlibrary Loan requests for e-books can be fulfilled with a print copy if it is available, but we will contact you first to see if a print copy is preferred. While you may be able to receive a pdf of an e-book chapter through an interlibrary loan request, being able to fulfill requests for digital copies of entire e-books is rare. WSU Libraries will contact you on a case-by-case basis to verify your preference and information need. If a request can't be fulfilled, the WSU Libraries will consider purchasing it for our collection.
If you have any questions about how to request items or how to access resources you need, don’t hesitate to ask us.
