Physical Library Access

The Health Sciences Library is located in the Student Academic Center building on the second and third floors. Spokane students and faculty may access the library 24/7 with their CougarCard. Study rooms are available on the Health Sciences Library third floor for small groups.

The interlibrary loan service allows students, faculty, and staff to acquire journal articles and books that are not immediately available through the WSU Health Sciences Library collection. Find the SearchIT catalog record for the item using the DOI/PMID lookup or search for the title. Login to the SearchIT catalog record for an item to quickly autofill the interlibrary loan request form. If you are unable to locate a catalog record for the item a blank form is linked below.
