If you've searched Search It for a book, video, map, or most any other type of item, you will need to note two things -
1) The availability and location of the item
2) The call number
When a book is checked in, available, and on the shelf at one of the WSU Libraries, you will see Available at in Green below the book information:
You might also see the phrases Online access or Full text available in Green. You will also see the resource type (e-book) above the title. This means it is an e-book (accessible completely online). Click on this phrase and then on the link for the database that holds the e-book. For more information on how to access these materials, look at the links below.
When a book is not available at WSU Libraries, you will see the phrase Check Holdings in Yellow:
Check Holdings means that the book may be available through one of our partner schools (a program called Summit). Through this program, we share collections with about 40 different libraries across the Pacific Northwest.
You may be able to order the book through Summit (for delivery in 3-5 days), or Interlibrary Loan (for delivery in 1-2 weeks). You can see your request options by logging into your Search It account with your WSU ID (firstname.lastname). If Summit is your option, click on the Summit link. Fill out the requested information and you will receive an email when the book arrives. If Interlibrary Loan is your option, click on the Interlibrary Loan link and login with your WSU network ID to create an account.
The library location is listed directly after the availability statement. Below are some examples, but not all Pullman campus locations are represented. For more information on each library or collection at WSU, go to the Library Hours and Locations page on the WSU Libraries website.
If you are not sure where to go, ask someone at one of the Pullman campus Libraries. If you need an item that is not on the Pullman campus, you may be able to request a copy of the item (see: Unavailable Books box).
Here are a few WSU Pullman locations:
If you see that it is also available at "other locations," you can click on "Availability and Request Options" to see if it is located at a library more convenient for you.
Holland/Terrell Deweys are located in the basement of Terrell. For more information, continue to Reading Dewey Call Numbers.
Here are a few examples of non-Pullman WSU locations:
If a book is available at another campus library, you may request to have it sent to your primary campus. Under the material record, find the "Availability and Request Options.” You will be prompted to log in with your WSU ID (firstname.lastname). Click on "Request Item,” and you will be prompted to fill out and submit a form. The material should arrive within 5 days.
