Global Online Students

Discover the resources and services from the University Libraries that will be most useful to Global Online students.

Request It - Interlibrary Loan

As a 100% online student, you can use Request It to have requested materials sent directly to you, no matter your location. Request It is a free service that allows you to borrow materials, including books and articles, from other libraries or from the PennWest Libraries' physical collections.

Any physical items requested will be mailed directly to you via UPS. Requested articles will be delivered to your Request It account within 24-48 hours and will remain available as a PDF in your account for 90 days.

Returning Items

100% Online students should return any physical material(s) (i.e., books) prior to their due date using the prepaid UPS return label the Interlibrary Loan department sent with your material(s). If you do not have the printed label, please contact your Campus ILL Department and a label can be emailed to you. There is no extra cost for using the UPS label, but you are responsible for finding a UPS drop-off location. 

Items can also be returned using the U.S. Postal Service. However, you must cover the cost of returning the item(s).  

 

If you need help using Request It services, please contact our Interlibrary Loan department.
